In a nation teetering on the edge, where the soul of Australia faces an existential threat, "Dinkum Aussies, Common Sense, and the Woke Offended” unveils the alarming transformation led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. As the Labor Government propels the country into a vortex of woke ideologies, climate fanaticism, and identity politics, the Aussie character hangs in the balance. Unraveling the consequences of misguided policies and a cultural shift, the book exposes the erosion of common sense, freedom, and the very essence of Australian identity. Brace for a compelling exploration of the struggle between grassroots patriotism and the encroaching tide of woke tyranny.

“Doug Morrissey has put his heart and soul into this most timely and passionate defence of the Australian way of life against the forces of the woke progressive who are hard at work to destroy every institution in our society.”
-- Dr Bella d’Abrera Director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation Program at the Institute of Public Affairs
