He stands as the exemplar of important qualities in the Liberal tradition. Dick Hamer- the liberal Liberalis the first biography to be written of this remarkable man, who so embodied a quality now lacking in our public life- integrity.'Tim Colebatch has written a fascinating account of one of Australia's most remarkable post-war leaders. Dick Hamer is the forgotten reformer of the 1970s. As effective as Gough Whitlam in his pomp, and more popular than Don Dunstan in his prime, he restored Victoria's position as the nation's pre-eminent progressive state.' George Megalogenis, author of The Australian Moment'Dick Hamer was ahead of his time. In 1972, when Australia was clamouring for change, he had already developed environmental, equal-opportunity, and arts policies that threw off years of social conservatism under his predecessor.'Dick Hamer also embodied democracy with great decency, openness, and a genuine commitment not seen today.'We should be grateful to Tim Colebatch for this biography. His account says as much about Victoria as it does about the Hamer government. He is right to assert that, apart from the Kennett years, all subsequent Labor and Liberal governments have governed in the same direction. May it ever be thus.' Steve Bracks, premier of Victoria 1990-2007'This is no hagiography, but a critical analysis of politics and the people that brought it to life.'There's a lot in this biography that explains what is wrong with Australian politics today. It should be compulsory reading for all those opportunists who hang around the offices of politicians seeking to make a career for themselves, with no commitment to anything but personal ambition.'
