“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.” - Gerard Henderson, author, columnist, political commentator and is the executive director of The Sydney Institute.
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.
“Books of essays are rare these days, particularly ones that cover
such a broad canvass as the ones written by Scott Hargreaves. From
climate and energy to culture and society, from history to Australia on
the world stage, this book provides lively commentary on issues that are
important for us all. The author refuses to talk down the Australian
Project while grappling with opposing arguments to his preferred
positions. Recommended reading.” - Judith Sloan, Contributing Economics Editor, The Australian, and Spectator columnist
“Scott leads an organisation that defends free speech and takes a
brave stand against the elites who want to control every facet of our
lives and trample our ancient rights. In this book you will find
brilliant insights and ideas on the problems we face and how we might
reclaim our freedoms.” - Brendan O’Neill, author and chief political writer for Spiked Online.
Scott Hargreaves is Executive Director of the Institute of Public
