Critics Review
“I can’t tell you how much I admire Richard McGarvie and his book … This retired Supreme Court judge and Victorian governor gives us a crisp message we must hear before we go mad on our republican frolic … Bravo, Dick M cGarvie. He’s seen how Australia works from the bottom up, from the floor of a milking shed to the ballroom of Government House. No wonder it took a man like him to devise a solution as practical and patriotic as this.” –“Herald Sun”
