This book 'The fight against Good as Labor men': The Australian Labor Party and the Platform 1901-1910 is the first in a series of books that analyses Federal Labor governments from 1901 to 1949 and their attempts to pursue and enact the Platform they were pledged to uphold. The book is a celebration of commitment, leadership, vision, tenacity and courage by Labor men and women who in the face of insurmountable obstacles and incredible odds were not daunted in their pursuit of creating what they believed was a better Australia for all Australians.
