520    "In this evidence-based and closely argued work, Kathy 
       MacDermott plots the changes in the culture of the 
       Australian Public Service that have led many contemporary 
       commentators to lament the purported loss of traditional 
       public service values of impartiality, intellectual rigour
       and, most importantly, the willingness of public servants 
       at all levels to offer frank and fearless advice to their 
       superiors and their ministers. MacDermott brings to her 
       analysis an insider's sensibility and a thorough forensic 
       analysis of the impact of some 20 years of relentless 
       administrative 'reform' on the values and behaviour of the
       APS. Although this story has its beginnings in the Hawke-
       Keating eras, MacDermott convincingly argues that 
       structural and cultural change compromising the integrity 
       of the public service reached its apogee towards the end 
       of the eleven years of the Howard government. This is a 
       'must read' for students of Australian political and 
       administrative history. MacDermott offers cautionary 
       observations that the new national government might do 
       well to heed"--Provided by publisher.
