Author: Greg Combet
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 344
A call to arms in the fight for fairness and justice Greg Combet has been at the centre of some of the biggest battles of our time-the waterfront dispute, the collapse of an airline, compensation for asbestos victims, the campaign against unfair workplace laws and then climate change. From an isolated childhood on the Minchinbury estate west of Sydney, Combet's world changed dramatically with the early death of his father, a wine-maker. Facing many challenges, he rose to lead the Australian trade union movement and become a senior minister in the Rudd and Gillard Labor governments. Along the way he has struggled with political ideology, the impact of work on his family and the relentless demands of the parliamentary life. The Fights of My Life is the story of a man who faces up to the power structures of politics, big business and the media. He now makes the case that the labour movement's work is far from done-the Labor Party and the trade unions must democratise to engage the next generation of activists to fight the good fight- to achieve a more fair and just Australia.
