The author uses this story as a starting point to interrogate how Aboriginal people - and indigenous people of other countries - have been portrayed in coloniser stories.

The author is professor of indigenous research at the University of Technology Sydney.

Book First Edition
1st p//b ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, pages lightly toned as common, minor edgewear. 466 pp. Matthew Condon exposes corruption in the Queensland police and government. "The message was powerfully clear. If you threatened the harmony of the Joke, you didn't last long." This book continues on from the bestselling 'Three Crooked Kings', this sequel opening in 1976. Terry Lewis, exiled in western Queensland, is soon to be controversially appointed Police Commissioner. As for the other two original crooked kings, Tony Murphy is set to ruthlessly take control of the workings of 'The Joke', while Glen Hallahan, retired from the force, shows a keen interest in the illicit drug trade. Meanwhile, ex-cop and bagman Jack Herbert collects the payments and efficiently takes police graft to a whole new level. The Joke heralds an era of hard drugs, illegal gambling and prostitution, and leave in its wake a string of unsolved murders and a trail of dirty money. With the highest levels of police and government turning a blind eye, the careers of honest police officers and the lives of innocent civilians are threatened and often lost as corruption escalates out of control. Award-winning journalist and novelist Matthew Condon once again exposes the shocking behaviour outside the law by the law. (First edition paperback, first printing.).

1st ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear cover corner tips. 346 pp. The award-winning journalist and novelist, Mathew Condon, relates the shocking true story of how Queensland society was shaped by 50 years of corruption. At its core was Terence Lewis, deposed and jailed former police commissioner, and is based on extensive and unprecedented access to Terry Lewis and his personal papers. From his entry into the force in 1949, Lewis rose through the ranks, becoming part of the so-called Rat Pack with detectives Glendon Patrick Hallahan and Tony Murphy under the guiding influence of Commissioner Frank Bischof. The next four decades make for a searing tale of cops and killings, bagmen and blackmail, and sin and sleaze that exposes a police underworld which operated from Queensland and into New South Wales. Explores the pivotal role that whistleblower Shirley Brifman, prostitute and brothel owner, played until her suspicious sudden death. (First printing.).

Australian ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, front cover corner tips ittle creased, pages faintly toned, minor edgewear. 333 pp. In this journey from philosophy to science, Stephen S. Hall traces the path of wisdom, from its sudden emergence in the fifth century B.C. to its modern manifestation in education, politics, and the workplace. He explores the neural mechanisms for wise decision making; the conflict between the emotional and cognitive parts of the brain; how compassion, humility, and empathy develops, the effect of adversity and the impact of early-life stress on the development of wisdom; and how our future choices and future selves can be improved. Despite modern science's most powerful efforts, wisdom still remains hard to understand. The author is a science and society writer for the New York Times Magazine. Australian edition. (1 of 2 available copies.).
