In this novel, Shute has some harsh things to say about the new (British) National Health Service, as well as the socialist Labour government of 1945-1951, themes he would later develop more fully in In the Wet. He describes the lot of the 'New Australians'; refugees who are required to work for two years where they are placed, in return for free passage to Australia.
