"...this collection of essays represent a starting point for more meaningful dialogue on volunteerism in Australia. Hopefully it will enable us to get over the 'silent barriers' that have been built in the past based on ignorance of both the importance and impacts of volunteering. It may raise awkward questions relating to equity and volition, but it has to be done. Any volunteers?" - Michael Wright, NSW Fire Brigade Employees' Union, Worksite October 2002
