Abstract

The New Right's Australian Fantasy is the culmination of a sustained campaign by Ken Coghill, Victorian Labor MP (and secretary to John Cain's Cabinet) against the emergence of the newly aggressive Right. Even had he not edited this book, Coghill's activities would have been noteworthy, rare as it is for a Labor parliamentarian to research and campaign against such an ideologically-focussed extraparliamentary political force.
