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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956371960027,"sku":"2026200008621-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ac949f21-a636-42d6-8e55-c43ccf2d72ca.png?v=1783500419","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008621-secondhand-a-time-to-speak","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
