The Dawkins revolution: 25 years on

By Trevor Cook - posted Wednesday, 30 October 2013


Despite some tinkering, the essential architecture of the Dawkins reforms are intact.

It is a rare politician who gets to look back with pride over the continuing success of his reforms a few decades later.

As a staffer, last week's festivities confirm my long-held view that you're better off working for a difficult boss than for some plodder who prides himself on his ability to get through his paperwork and turn in a polished (but vacuous) media performance.

When I was working for John Dawkins I never thought about a 25 year celebration and reunion.

But it was a great privilege and pleasure to be there last week.
