Suddenly, they had to become accustomed to a new way of life, with the author working in the global offshore oil and gas industry. As time went on, he became involved in politics at the local, state, and federal level, joining the Liberal Party and becoming a branch president. But politics is a tough game, and a few years later, he left the party only to run for the State Parliament as a member of the Seniors Party in 2001. Shortly after that, he teamed up with a group of associates in a bid to form an independent party called “We the People.” This book includes a chapter devoted to the changing climate, with the author wondering if carbon dioxide is really the cause. He also shares his insights on how the world has changed over the past eighty years—and whether those changes have been for better or worse. Join the author as he shares his passion for politics, Australia, family life, and making a difference in A Journey through History with the Davenports.
