John Howard has repeatedly shattered the trust of the Australian people, yet he announced before the 2004 election: This election, ladies and gentlemen, will be about trust.

By winning that election, Howard demonstrated, once again, that he held the trust of the Australian people.

What is going on?

Howard's Seduction tells the story of the past decade from a view that is grounded in common sense and Australian values.

The perfect gift for friend or family member who STILL thinks that John Howard is good for Australia.

Ideal for book clubs and discussion groups.

A great conversation starter.

Where to Now?

Howard's Seduction was written for Australians who care about our future, but who lack the time to keep up with every political debate. It was written for busy people who are looking for a short honest overview of what we can learn from the past decade under Howard.

Join with Clancy as he asks the big questions about John Howard's leadership. Why has he been so successful? Who has benefited? What have been the costs?

What are we to learn from his successes? What are we to learn from his blunders?

Are we being drawn towards the corrupt American style of capitalism—the corruption of democracy by big money?

Clancy asks difficult questions, highlights some great stories and comes up with some troubling answers. But he doesn't leave us there.

Having spent most of his life as an entrepreneur and a leader in the community sector, he is not short on solutions. Our future lies in the hands of our citizens—you and me.

Whoever you are and whatever your politics, it is time for us to get off our collective backside, to look at what is going on and then to have a say and make a difference. If we want to create a future for our children's children, we can no longer remain silent.
