[This book] draws on 60 years of NSW parliamentary debates to show the attitudes during the period and the policies and legislation that was shaped. It covers a wide range of debates from the right to vote to wages and highlights the diversity of opinion amongst parliamentarians at the time and some issues related to Aboriginal grievances that were raised with them; but they also introduced the legislation that allowed for children to be removed from their parents. This is an interesting, well-researched historical text. - National Indigenous Times, Issue 5, 05 Nov 2006
