Who's hot and who's not in national public affairs.
The Tin Tin Index is named in honour of our virtuous Prime Minister Rudd. Tin Tin was of course one of the nicknames that the national press gave him in his campaign against PM Howard in Nov 2007. The Index tracks public virtue in all of the dimensions of Australian national affairs focusing particularly on the Commonwealth government.
Contents The First Estate: The Church Stop Interview
The Second Estate: Parliament, Bureaucracy and the Culture of Annoucements - Death and Virtue in the PM’s Office. - The Henry Government? Australia and the GFC. - The Culture of Announcements - The Problem of the Commonwealth Club - Turnbull to Abbott
