The pivot of government? Understanding the Australian prime minister: The office and its holders

这项研究提供了迄今为止对澳大利亚总理职位的最全面的研究，将大大增加我们对该办公室长期行为的了解。理想的情况是，它将促进对领导力行使的更知情的理解，直接投入关于我们政治制度这一关键方面的公众教育（通过总理中心/拟议中的堪培拉民主博物馆），导致公民更好地欣赏这一作用，可能导致更好的领导实践，如果我们的研究表明这是必要的，为审议是否需要进行体制改革提供证据基础。

This study offers the most comprehensive study of Australia's prime ministership to date and will greatly augment our understanding of the conduct of the office over time. Ideally, it will promote a more informed understanding of the exercise of leadership, feeding directly into public education about this key aspect of our political system (through the Prime Ministers' Centre/proposed Museum of Democracy in Canberra), leading to better citizen appreciation of the role, possibly to better leadership practices and, if our research shows it to be necessary, providing an evidence base for consideration as to whether there is a need for institutional reform.
