Not since Bob Hawke's early days has any Australian been so widely-touted as a future Prime Minister as Peter Costello. But as the Howard Government nears the end of its second term, time could be running out for Costello. His moment of truth is fast approaching. Will he fulfill what he and his friends and family view as his destiny to become the nation's leader? Would he be willing to challenge John Howard in order to get there? Costello's star has risen ever since he first shot to prominence as a student activist fighting the Left on campuses across the nation and then as a young lawyer trying to smash union power and overturn the arbitration system. As a politician he has made his name as a devastating parliamentary performer and hard-nosed overseer of the Australian economy. Peter Costello The New Liberal is an in-depth and detailed examination of Costello's life. It explores the personal and political events that shaped the Liberal Party's great hope of the new century, looking at his political career in the context of his upbringing, his family, his schooldays, his friendships and the intellectual forces that shaped him and continued to drive him. In this unauthorised account, produced with the full co-operation of Costello and his life-long friend and political comrade Michael Kroger, the inner workings of Liberal politics of the past 10 years are laid bare. For the first time, Costello talks at length about his motivations and relationships within the Howard Government.
