The Attack on Positive Liberty
Partisanship, policy entrepreneurs and the market for ideas: What We Can Learn From Policy Failure
The Office of Living Victoria (OLV), was established in 2011 by the then Liberal-National Party Coalition Government. It was created in response to a water crisis and intended to revolutionise water management and delivery, challenging established authorities and practices consolidated under the previous Labor government in Victoria. There was a decidedly partisan motivation for its conception. The drive for new ideas and innovation created oppor…
Policy capacity in disruptive times
In considering the widely held view that we have experienced an era of qualitative decline in policy provision, this paper briefly reviews four questions that appear to underlie such a view. Have there been identifiable transitions in deliberative processes, political practices and policy capacity in recent decades (and if so, what were the catalysts)? Has the relationship between policy practitioners and expert providers of policy advice changed…
Defying expectations: What Leader Insurgencies Reveal About Media and Party Incapacity in the Time of 'Audience Democracy
Political communication and citizen engagement have been impacted by crises in both political parties and conventional media models. This article contends that the confluence of these crises has been insufficiently understood, and that this lack of understanding depends upon a third element: the dissolution of a 'holding culture', a sense of the 'rules of the game' that has constituted the ground on which parties and the media operated and genera…

Howard's strength
The tenth anniversary of John Howard's prime ministership was celebrated and his strength and persistence had a profound effect on changes in Australia. His sense of purpose, a philosophical framework and commitment to changes driven the country towards prosperity
Friendships in the Hothouse Power, Politics and the Possibilities of Friendship
A cliche of mainstream politics is that ‘one can’t have friends, only allies’, yet theorists of leadership have remarked on how regularly success is attendant upon productive ‘pairing’ relationships. This paper looks at a number of such relationships to ask, how are we to understand the borders of an ‘instrumental’ alliance versus a ‘friendship’? To what extent does the freight of instrumental intentions undercut contemporary ideas of friendship,…

Studying Political Leaders from a Distance: The Lessons of Biography
This essay reflects work in progress. It does not represent the culmination of inquiry, is perhaps little more than a way station in the endeavor, but is generated by rumination on the links between this author's former research and current concerns. Of necessity this must be autobiographical, phrased in the personal voice rather than the conventional impersonal mode of the research publication. It is nonetheless my feeling that problems of resea…
