He explains that Labor can achieve this by deploying its distinctive strength to tackle the most critical issues facing Australia: inequality, precarious jobs, the care crisis, climate change, and emerging foreign powers.<\/p>\n<p>The book, entitled &#8216;Story Of Our Country: Labor&#8217;s Vision for Australia&#8217;, was launched by Australian Labor Senator, Kim Carr who commented that &#8220;this book will provoke some arguments and, I hope, much thought in Labor circles&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Story Of Our Country: Labor&#8217;s Vision for Australia&#8217; by Professor Adrian Pabst is available from Connor Court Publishing in September 2019.
