The United States has always exerted a strong, if intermittent, influence on the conduct of Australian politics. Stepping Up to the Plate argues that Australia has experimented with an alternating party system more authentic than the American two-party system and more connected with the people. It mounts a defence of Australian democracy as we have known it.
