The decline of political leadership in Australia? : changing recruitment and careers of federal politicians

by Jan Pakulski

On This Page

Description

This book analyses the changing political recruitment of the Australian federal parliamentary elite. It argues that the elite's quality has been reduced to a worrisome degree, especially since the 1990s. It suggests that the declining quality of the Australian 'political class' is a major factor behind the declining public trust in politicians.
