Description

As Australians, we traditionally see ourselves as friendly, relaxed and connected people. But is this an outdated stereotype? The data from our census and other surveys show that Australian society is shifting rapidly. Leigh guides us through the causes of this corrosion of relationships, and towards a vision for a better civic and personal life.
