From Carr to Keneally: Labor in Office in NSW 1995‑2011 is a comprehensive non‑fiction work by David Clune and Rodney Smith that examines New South Wales politics over sixteen pivotal years. Published by Allen & Unwin in 2012, the 420‑page paperback blends political history, biography and law to offer insight into Australian government, party dynamics and key figures such as Kristina Keneally and Nathan Rees.
The authors, both respected scholars of Australian political science, present a clear narrative that appeals to both young adults and adult readers interested in the inner workings of Labor’s state administration. Its focus on political ideologies, policy decisions and the practical realities of office life makes it a valuable resource for students, researchers and anyone curious about recent Australian history.
Condition is solid overall; the book is clean and complete, with the front paper bearing an inscription that adds a personal touch without affecting readability. This paperback is an engaging addition for collectors of Australian political biographies and for readers seeking a well‑researched account of NSW politics in the 1990s and 2000s.
