Organised into three sections, it begins with a group of essays that reflect on key governance issues such as privatisation, the management of the Howard Government's Senate majority, and issues relating to accountability and ethics. The second section examines policy issues that dominated the fourth term, such as management of the economy, rural politics (particularly wheat and drought), industrial relations, indigenous policy and foreign affairs.Howard's GovernmentPrime ministersAustraliaAustraliaPolitics and government1945-Prime ministers324.29405Aulich Chris1947-1719237Wettenhall R.
