The years 1997–2001 were eventful ones for the Howard Government. This second volume of the Howard Government series explores these tumultuous years. In Back from the Brink politicians, commentators and scholars including Michael Wesley, Hugh White, Peter Costello, Phillipa McGuinness and Tom Frame and take a critical look at the Howard Government’s performance, and analyse landmark events -- Wik and native title, a succession of ministerial resignations, the Patrick Corporation waterfront dispute, the Coalition’s near defeat at the 1998 election, the response to post-independence violence in East Timor, and the introduction of the GST.
Tom Frame was a naval officer for 15 years before being ordained to the Anglican ministry. He served as Bishop to the Australian Defence Force from 2001– 2007 and is the author and editor of over 40 books on a range of topics including the ethics of armed conflict. He is a regular media commentator on naval, religious and ethical affairs.
