The volume showcases the variety of methods available for studying political speech, including historical, theoretical, institutional, and linguistic analyses, and demonstrates the centrality of language use to democratic politics. The chapters reveal errors in rhetorical strategy, the multiple and unstable standards for public speech in Australia, and the links between rhetoric and action. The length of Australian political speech is traversed, from pre-Federation to the Gillard minority government (2010–13), and the topics similarly range from Alfred Deakin’s nation building to Kevin Rudd’s Apology to the Stolen Generations. This fresh collection is intended to stimulate and advance the study of political rhetoric in Australia.Communication in politicsAustraliaPolitics and literatureAustraliaaustraliapoliticsrhetoricAboriginal AustraliansAlfred DeakinEconomic rationalismJulia GillardKevin RuddCommunication in politicsPolitics and literature320.014Uhr Johnauth801567Uhr JohnWalter RyanMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910135397503321Studies in Australian political rhetoric3387284UNINA
