His recollections cast light on political controversies, as in Menzies Versus Evatt. The Whitlam Dismissal Revisited. The Referendum Puzzle. From Pericles to Trump. And also on the personal and at times surprising pursuits of various lawyers, artists, and writers, such as Ian Callinan: A Voice for Law and Literature, or Anthony Powell’s Mosaic, or Saving Dorothy Hewett. The author’s ruminations about trends and personalities are always underpinned by a keen awareness of communal values: the way things were and the way they could be in times to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Nicholas Hasluck\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher: Australian Scholarly Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 266\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: 1 December 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781923267572\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Shop at Old Parliament House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52489280061751,"sku":"9781923267572","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9559\/0967\/files\/File-7065_medium_246f8621-1da9-4c89-bb4c-792c9b3955dd.png?v=1781752203","url":"https:\/\/shop.moadoph.gov.au\/products\/ruminations","provider":"The Shop at Old Parliament House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
