Sydney: Allen & Unwin. 232 pp. Paperback octavo, very good condition. Colin Dillon is an extraordinary man. He was the first Indigenous policeman in Australia. But that is actually a very small part of his story. He was also the first serving police officer to voluntarily appear before the Fitzgerald Commission of Inquiry in 1987 and give first-hand evidence of police corruption. His evidence was instrumental in eventually sending some police, including Police Commissioner Terry Lewis, and politicians to prison. Revealing, powerful and uncompromising, this is the story of Colin Dillon's nearly 40 years in a police force rotten to the core. It describes the extraordinary range of criminal activities - drugs, gaming, SP bookmaking, brothels, vehicle theft - that were allowed to operate with impunity in return for bribes. It also tells of the high price an honest man and his family paid for his decision to break the code of silence. ISBN/ASIN: 9781760290580. Our Book No: 17002. $18 AUD.

125. Ivison, Duncan (2002). Postcolonial Liberalism (1st ed). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP). 214 pp. Paperback trade, very good condition, minor edgewear, old price marks. Duncan Ivison presents a compelling account of the challenges to liberal political theory by claims to cultural and political autonomy and land rights made by indigenous peoples today. Written in Australia, this book has a focus on Australian Aborigines. Public debate between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples has been often mired in mutual recrimination and misunderstanding. This experience is not unique to Australia. Attempts to present a larger picture within which to consider these questions, beyond the technicalities of legal doctrine and the bureaucratic imperatives of public policy. What is distinctive about this book is the middle way it charts between separatism, on the one hand, and assimilation, on the other. These two options present a false dichotomy as to what might constitute a genuinely postcolonial liberal society. ISBN/ASIN: 0521527511. Our Book No: 30432. $30 AUD.
