THE AUSTRALIAN ACHIEVEMENT AND ITS OPPONENTS

Scott Hargreaves is a polemical warrior with a fine sense of the importance of history in general and Western Civilisation in particular. The Australian Achievement and its Opponents is a controversial work and, as such, makes a valuable contribution to the public debate. Australia is a remarkable country with immense potential, yet it grapples with numerous external and internal challenges. In a series of essays spanning over two decades, the author emphasizes that we will never fully realize this potential unless we acknowledge the intrinsic value of the “Australian Achievement” and the civilisation that underpins it. Moreover, a clear understanding of the motivations of its adversaries and the fundamental flaws in their worldview is essential for progress.
