The Australian Prime Minister has described the global financial crisis as the 'equivalent of a rolling national security crisis'. Our project, which examines the pressures upon political parties to adopt an adversarial approach to crises as an election approaches, benefits the nation by enhancing our understanding of how political systems cope with crisis. Should governing and opposition parties unite in order to tackle the national crisis and portray consensus to the outside world? Or should they continue to engage in routine adversary criticism, facilitating dialogue and providing a 'check' on a centralised response? Our research will help develop an understanding of Australia's capacity to respond to major economic threats.

澳大利亚总理将全球金融危机描述为“相当于滚动的国家安全危机”。我们的项目，它审查了对政党的压力，采取对抗性的方法来应对危机作为一个选举的方法，通过提高我们的政治制度如何科普危机的理解，有利于国家。执政党和在野党是否应该团结起来应对国家危机，并向外界展示共识？或者他们应该继续参与例行的对手批评，促进对话，并对集中反应提供“检查”？我们的研究将有助于了解澳大利亚应对重大经济威胁的能力。
