The Powerbroker: Mark Leibler, an Australian Jewish Life

'The Powerbroker' is about Jewish life in Australia - the interaction between private wealth and politics, and about a man whose ambition and energy have made him a highly effective player in Australian affairs. Award-winning journalist, author and former editor of The Age, Michael Gawenda, skillfully tells this multi-layered story of Mark Leibler’s life so far. Through interviews and meticulous research, he describes how Mark Leibler rose to a position of immense influence in Australian public life and how he became a committed advocate for radical reform on behalf of Australia’s Indigenous people.
