This book focuses on the life and activism of Peter Sawyer, a well-known whistle-blower and controversial figure in Australian public life. The book presents a compilation of his writings, experiences, and the events that led to him being effectively “banned” or marginalized by mainstream institutions and authorities because of his outspoken critiques and challenges to power.
Peter Sawyer’s fate is a potent demonstration of Voltaire’s dictum: “It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong”
