But a great deal of us don't know precisely how or why. Part history, part biography and part common sense, this compact and readable essay from Sean Jacobs offers a 'modern upgrade' to our understanding and appreciation of Australia's monarchy, covering ground on Australian leadership, culture, foreign policy and even Queen Elizabeth's appeal to the traditions of Indigenous cultures. At a time when republican designs are emerging, and Queen Elizabeth's reign enters the eighth decade, \u003cem\u003eThoroughly Modern Patriot\u003c\/em\u003e offers a practical and sensible look at our current arrangements, and how these can continue to serve Australia well into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSean Jacobs is a Papua New Guinean-born Australian writer, government relations and public policy specialist.
