Film Art Doco's Jenny Hocking publishes two new and compelling books:

		FRANK HARDY Politics Literature Life JENNY HOCKING Hardback, 0734408366 Price: $39.95 This is the definitive biography of one of Australia’s most celebrated and controversial writers. A member of the communist party from an early age, Frank Hardy’s first secretly published novel Power Without Glory was the subject of an infamous criminal libel case. Hardy continued to challenge political and social issues with his writing until shortly before his death in 1994. Jenny Hocking includes material from interviews with surviving Hardy family members and never-before-published archival documents that shed new light on one of the most important Australian writers of the twentieth century.
		TERROR LAWS: ASIO, COUNTER-TERRORISM AND THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY JENNY HOCKING UNSW PRESS, 2004, 304pp, PB, 235x155mm, 086840702X Availability: Plenty Price: $34.95 Associate Professor Jenny Hocking's new book is the first and only authoritative critique of the new Australian anti-terrorism laws. Under the Howard government Australia has gone further than any other western liberaldemocracy, including the US and UK in allowing for the arrest and detention of non-suspects in the fight against terrorism. Any ordinary Australian who has no connection with terrorism may now be arrested, in secret, and detained by ASIO for up to a week or more. Get this important book now!
