On 18 October 1980, Australians were asked to vote for a new government. Their response was ambiguous - almost as many wanted government by Labor as by the conservative parties. Incumbent Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser was elected to a third term with a much-reduced majority, defeating Labor's Bill Hayden.

In bringing out the hidden meanings of this election, Donald Horne has written with his usual verve and perception about the future of Australia itself.
