A landmark volume in Australian political history, Towards a New Australia: Under a Labor Government presents the vision, policies, and reforms championed by the Whitlam Labor government following its historic 1972 federal election victory. Authored collectively by key ministers and figures of the era — including Gough Whitlam, Jim Cairns, Lionel Murphy, and Bill Hayden — the book details the sweeping social, economic, and cultural agenda that defined one of Australia's most transformative political periods. Each contributor argues for their portfolio's reforms, from education and health to foreign policy and Indigenous affairs, providing an authoritative insider account of Labor's ambitious program for national renewal. The result is an essential primary source for anyone seeking to understand the ideology and ambitions of the Whitlam era and its enduring legacy on the Australian political landscape.
