Musgrove reviews the columns, articles, radio commentaries and newspaper correspondence that resulted from David Williamson's 'Cruise Ship Australia' address. Musgrove concludes that '[w]hat the principal actors in the 'Cruise Ship Australia' affair ultimately (and unwittingly) did was to provide the resources for a textbook case study: of how contemporary propaganda works, and how a paranoid power-eilte deals with those who speak back to it. It's also a classic expose of how false consciousness is manufactured; and of how the struggle over what values genuinely represent 'the people' remains unresolved.'
