The High Road; What Australia Can Learn From New Zealand; Quarterly Essay 80 [Paperback] Tingle, Laura

**The High Road: What Australia Can Learn From New Zealand - Quarterly Essay 80**

Laura Tingle serves up a diplomatic reality check that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about trans-Tasman relations. This political essay dives deep into New Zealand's progressive policy wins—from housing to climate action—while Australia fumbles around like a drunk uncle at Christmas dinner. Tingle dissects why our Kiwi neighbors consistently punch above their weight in social reform, economic innovation, and plain old common sense governance.

Perfect for political junkies, policy wonks, and anyone who's ever wondered why New Zealand seems to have its act together while Australia... well, doesn't. Tingle's razor-sharp analysis cuts through the usual political waffle with characteristic wit and insight.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks shows minor shelf wear but the ideas inside are timeless—and increasingly relevant as both nations navigate post-pandemic politics.

"Tingle's comparison is both eye-opening and infuriating—in the best possible way." "Finally, someone brave enough to say what we're all thinking about our neighbors across the ditch."
