In this part memoir and part authorised biography, Fraser at the age of 79 years talks about his time in public life. From the Vietnam War to the Dismissal and his years as Prime Minister, through to his concern in recent times for breaches in the Rule of Law and harsh treatment of refugees, Fraser emerges as an enduring liberal, constantly reinterpreting core values to meet the needs of changing times. Written in collaboration with journalist Margaret Simons, Malcolm Fraser's political memoirs trace the story of a shy boy who was raised to be seen and not heard, yet grew to become one of the most persistent, insistent and controversial political voices of our times. The book offers insight into Malcolm Fraser's substantial achievements. He was the first Australian politician to describe Australia's future as multicultural, and his federal government was the first to pass Aboriginal Land Rights and Freedom of Information legislation, also establishing the Human Rights Commission. After his parliamentary career, Fraser continued to be an important player in public life, playing a key role in persuading the USA Congress to impose sanctions on South Africa as part of the battle against apartheid. He was also the founding chair of CARE Australia, one of our largest aid agencies. 606 $aPrime ministers$zAustralia$vBiography 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1976-1990 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1945-1965 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1965-1972 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1972-1975 615 0$aPrime ministers 676 $a994.06092 700 $aFraser$b Malcolm$0797873 701 $aSimons$b Margaret$01787541 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973597103321 996 $aMalcolm Fraser$94321031 997 $aUNINA
