Summary With the politics of rage and resentment dominating many Western nations, including Australia, Laura Tingle's calm, perceptive analysis is more relevant than ever. What has happened to good government? Can Malcolm Turnbull apply the lessons of the past to put things right? When leaders surf the wave of discontentment all the way to power, how do they deal with our great expectations?----'This is precisely the kind of political journalism we don't get to see often enough.' ----Australian Financial Review and ABC TV's Insiders
