Peter Walsh always had the reputation of being the 'hard man' of the Labor Government during the 1980s. He was closely involved with all aspects of economic policy, ranging from the systematic and far-reaching deregulation of our financial system to the relentless cutting of government expenditure. He had the stamina and the conviction to cope with the arguments at the endless meetings of the Expenditure Review Committee - and the inner fortitude to say 'NO' to a whole range of special interest groups.

He joined the Labor Party because he believed in social justice and reform, and entered the Senate to fight for Labor policy and principles. Confessions of a Failed Finance Minister is his story of those years in politics.
