From Turnbull to Morrison

Understanding the Trust Divide

Mark Evans, Michelle Grattan, Brendan McCaffrie
From Turnbull to Morrison: Understanding the Trust Divide is the thirteenth volume of Australia's longest running study of Australian Commonwealth Government, started in 1983.

How will history judge the contribution of the Turnbull and Morrison administrations?

In From Turnbull to Morrison well-known political journalists including Michelle Grattan, George Megalogenis, Megan Davis, Virginia Haussegger, Mark Kenny and Katharine Murphy and leading academics such as…
