A candid political memoir, A Time to Speak chronicles the life and career of Edward St John, a prominent Australian barrister and Liberal Party politician who served as a member of the House of Representatives in the late 1960s. St John was a man of fierce independence and principle, and this autobiography details his outspoken views on parliamentary reform, judicial integrity, and the rule of law in Australia. With a sharp, uncompromising tone, the narrative presents his clashes with the Liberal Party establishment — most notably his public criticism of Prime Minister John Gorton — with the same directness that defined his public life. It stands as a compelling insider account of Australian federal politics during one of the country's most turbulent political decades, illustrating how one man's conscience placed him at odds with the machinery of power.
