Book excerpt

My book contains more than 77,000 words (not including the Index). Here are a few key excerpts on just five topics:

My relationship with current Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews (both before and after he became premier) during my sixteen years in the Victorian Parliament.
Behind the scenes glimpses of ALP factions and how they operate in Victoria.
Democratic public ownership of businesses in the 21st century.
Worker self-directed enterprises and their important role in the future of work and society in Australia.
My take on the current problems in the country of my birth and early adulthood – Sri Lanka. It pains me to say this, but meaningful and lasting change will not occur until real reforms, including the abolition of the executive presidential system, are introduced.
