Book Launch ‘The Art of Opposition’ featuring Simon Birmingham, Scott Prasser & Terry Barnes

On Wednesday 19 June 2024 the Robert Menzies Institute hosted the Melbourne book launch of ‘The Art of Opposition’ edited by Scott Prasser and David Clune. The book was launched by Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Opposition in the Senate Simon Birmingham, while the event's proceedings also featured speeches by the book's editor Scott Prasser and chapter contributor Terry Barnes.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Art of Opposition is the first detailed published research study of Australian oppositions across federal and state jurisdictions with additional coverage of the United Kingdom, Canada, United States and Europe. With senior academic contributors from Australian and international universities, practitioners like John Howard who led an opposition to office and former opposition staff, The Art of Opposition is an up-to-date account of what oppositions do and how they do it. An effective opposition is essential for the health of any democracy - holding governments to account, exposing mistakes, and being the “government-in-waiting” with alternative policies ready to take office once an election result is clear.
