Since 1970 seventy-three political leaders within the major parties have been
forcibly removed from their leadership positions. And at the heart of the
turmoil is the media, with its 24-hour news cycle making political leadership
evermore precarious. Disposable Leaders is an engaging and insightful analysis
of the high-drama leadership challenge - a regular event that is now central to
Australian politics. Not only does Rodney Tiffen explore some of the most
intriguing federal leadership struggles that have dominated recent Australian
politics in detail, he also examines all of the 73 successful leadership
challenges that have occurred since 1970. In doing so Tiffen also shines a light
on the central role the media plays in the revolving-door leadership that has
become the new normal in modern Australian politics.
