{"product_id":"three-shocks","title":"Three Shocks","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of our greatest political journalists charts Australia's course into the new century\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFor decades our politics has failed to keep up with a changing Australia. The federal elections of 2022 and 2025 were an overdue wake-up call to three shocks that have reshaped our national identity:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n- For the first time since federation, we have a population that's majority migrants and their children\u003cbr\u003e\n\n - Professional women are now the largest segment of the workforce, replacing blue-collar men\u003cbr\u003e\n\n - On the world stage, both our allies and our key trade partners have proven unreliable\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTogether, these shocks have changed the electoral maths for our politicians. For too long both major parties operated on outdated assumptions about Australia that go back to the Howard era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWith original interviews and research, \u003ci\u003eThree Shocks\u003c\/i\u003e tells the inside story of how our leaders caught up to the times or were left behind. Labor learned how to win again by embracing our new diversity; the Liberals suffered back-to-back landslide defeats that have threatened their very existence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThese three shocks will define our national politics in the future, and how we all think about Australia in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprint: Penguin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplier: Penguin Random House Distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubjects: Code 1MBF (scheme 12), Code 1MBF (scheme 94), albanese; howard; gillard; rudd; morrison; abbott; dutton; nikki savva; paul kelly; analysis; parliament; journalist; election; poll; immigration; china; trump; brexit; misogyny; labor; liberal; greens; one nation; monthly; quarterly essay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Australia Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49103491236089,"sku":"9780143789994","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/4535\/6025\/files\/9780143789994.jpg?v=1789779716","url":"https:\/\/www.atticusbooksandart.com.au\/products\/three-shocks","provider":"Atticus Bookshop Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
