About this title

Synopsis

Australian prime ministerial rhetoric in the modern era sheds light on the intellectual challenges, interests, and personal visions of Australia's leaders in this in-depth study. Focusing on five fascinatingly different prime ministers—Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser, Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, and John Howard—this investigation asks how they each interpreted the nation's policies and society and, in doing so, redefined Australian national identity. Through the prime ministers' speeches, letters, and writings, this text provides a detailed contemporary analysis of politics with an insider's view of a changing nation.

About the Author

James Curran is the 2004 John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library Visiting Scholar. He has worked as a policy officer in both the New South Wales and Commonwealth public services.
