Clive Hamilton with Nicholas Nakos
He has written a book about the history of protests against the Australian "ugliness". He was accused of negativity and hopelessness when he wrote about how climate change and the grim fate that awaits humanity. Then came his most controversial book yet, Silent Invasion, warning that warning that the Chinese Communist Party is engaged in a systematic campaign to exert political influence in Australia. Vilified and accused of racism, his book was nevertheless very successful and the follow-up, Hidden Hand, is now out, Why does Clive Hamilton tackle topics that put him right in the critical firing line?
