Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. An extraordinary account of the impending closure of the Holden factory in Adelaide. More than the end of a business - it's the end of an era, of a story, and of a great Australian dream.When Holden signalled that it would close its Adelaide factory, it struck at the very heart of Australian identity. Holden is our car made on our shores. It's the choice of patriotic rev heads and suburban drivers alike. How could a car that was so beloved - and so popular - be so unprofitable to make?The story of the collapse of Holden is about the people who make and drive the cars; it's about sustaining industry in Australia; it's about communities of workers and what happens when the work dries up. And if it's not quite about the death of an icon - because Holdens will remain on Australian roads for a long time to come - then it's about what happens when an icon falls to its knees in front of a whole nation.This updated edition features a new chapter.'Brilliant and powerful' Nick Xenophon An extraordinary account of the impending closure of the Holden factory in Adelaide.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A generation of Australians was told that action on climate change would wreck the economy.A generation of Australians was told that action on climate change would wreck the economy. What Australians weren't told was that this message came from oil, gas and coal producers, and it was laundered into Australian Government policy via a little-known government agency.With the forensic attention of true crime narratives, journalist and author Royce Kurmelovs traces the hidden history of how an obscure research bureau came to debase Australian climate policy for decades. Once a training ground for economists and public servants, funding cuts in the early neoliberal era saw it turn to industry money and transform into an engine for climate delay. As Australia grapples with worsening fires and floods, Kurmelovs shows the long-reaching and wide-ranging effects of institutional capture and the importance of integrity in the public service.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A riveting expose of the global oil industry's multi-decade conspiracy to muddy the waters around the science of climate change and use the Australian government to undermine worldwide efforts to address environmental devastation.Slick: Australia's toxic relationship with Big Oil takes a comprehensive look at the origins of the Australian petroleum industry, investigating what these companies knew about climate change and how they learned to wield influence and insert themselves into all facets of public life. Royce Kurmelovs reveals how the US petroleum industry was warned about its environmental impacts back in the 1950s and yet went on to build the Australian oil industry, which in turn tried to drill the Great Barrier Reef, sought to strongarm governments, and joined a global effort to bury the science of climate change and delay action despite knowing the harms it would cause.Slick also tells the stories of fire and flood survivors, as well as of the activists engaged in a high-stakes fight for the future of Australia and of the efforts being made to save ourselves from catastrophe.This superb, in-depth work of journalism provides an on-the-ground examination of how the fossil fuel industry captured Australia, and outlines what's at stake for the survival of the planet and our democracy.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The debt business is booming. Millions of Australians grapple with credit cards, mortgages and student debt repayments each day. As the result of a car crash without insurance, investigative journalist Royce Kurmelovs finds himself among them. When a debt collector knocks on his door, he embarks on a journey through the underbelly of the Australian financial system. Though friends tell him not to worry, that it's 'just money', he learns the opposite is true- our relationship with debt is a convergence of class and power, making it an urgent social justice issue for a growing number of people.
