Keating and His Party Room
Keating and His Party Room is the first comprehensive account of a full term of the proceedings of the Party Room of the Australian Labor Party - the Caucus - where the Party’s actions and performance in the Parliament are closely scrutinised and debated.
The Author, Jim Snow was elected Chair of the Caucus following the “sweetest victory of all” in the 1993 federal election. As Chair, Snow was perfectly placed to observe the deliberations of a body that Prime Minister Paul Keating has called ‘the supreme authority of the government’.
Snow has gathered his Caucus notes and records of Labor’s last term in office in the 20th Century to describe the Keating Government’s actions on the Mabo High Court ruling and in the fields of communications, superannuation, competition and the arts. Snow also details the 1993 and 1996 election campaigns, including the rise of Pauline Hanson.
