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. 606 $aPrime ministers$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 0$aPrime ministers 676 $a324.29405 701 $aAulich$b Chris$f1947-$01584192 701 $aWettenhall$b R.
