Latham proposes reforms to limit their power and renew the party, and outlines a new way forward – a “light-touch social democracy” which focuses on equality, social mobility, good services and some key policy challenges: education, poverty and climate change. He also examines the rise of the authoritarian right under the wing of Tony Abbott, and what to do about it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Following this, an array of younger voices have their say. The result is a passionate debate about how the party can reinvent itself and speak to a changed Australia.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After years of leadership turmoil and the 2013 election defeat, the Labor Party has some serious soul-searching to do. This book is the place to start. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mark Latham was leader of the Australian Labor Party and leader of the Opposition from December 2003 to January 2005.
