Phil Cleary

This book is mainly about the political career of Phil Cleary as well as his campaign to reform criminal law in order to protect women from violent partners. However there are significant sections in the book about his long career in the VFA as a player and coach and a brief account of when he trained with the Carlton Football Club squad.

Phil Cleary, a well-known identity in Australian politics and football, describes how his sister was murdered by her ex-partner.
