Settling the Office: The Australian Prime Ministership from Federation to Reconstruction

By Paul Strangio, James Walter, Paul 't Hart, et al.

The prime ministership is indisputably the most closely observed and keenly contested office in Australia. How did it grow to become the pivot of national political power? Settling the Office chronicles the development of the prime ministership from its rudimentary early days following Federation through to the powerful, institutionalised prime-ministerial leadership of the postwar era.
