- W2017201504 abstract "BY THE MIDDLE of 1972 three things, of very unequal importance, seemed clear: twentythree years of Liberal-Country Party rule in Australia was likely to come to an end in the forthcoming election; a much larger proportion of people than is usual was excited about the election, involved in it, and thought the outcome would make a real difference to their lives; and no academics seemed to be organising a national survey. Journalists were more enterprising. There were rumours about plans by a number of them. Laurie Oakes and David Solomon's excellent The making of an Australian prime minister, published by Cheshire and launched by Gough Whitlam, the new Labor prime minister, in early February 1973, was one result. As a consecutive story and as background that book is indispensable. In general, Labor to Power does not set out to compete with it but is aimed at a somewhat different readership. The two books are, clearly, best read together. Not having the money or the ability to organise a national survey, I was yet determined, by the end of August 1972, to have the election recorded in some way which would go beyond the obvious standard academic symposium published years after the event. Could there be a book which, however imperfectly, reflected the fact that so many people from so many walks of life were involved in so many different ways? Academic teachers and students of politics in Australia and New Zealand belong to a body known as APSA—the Australasian Political Studies Association. APSA also has some journalists, advertising agents and politicians, plus interested ordinary voters among its members. It publishes a biannual journal, always on the verge of bankruptcy, called Politics. APSA has been kind enough to give me a pretty free hand as editor. So why not have a special issue on the elections? Why not try to involve people from all over Australia and from outside the universities? Given the sense of excitement, one should be able to attract some new writers. There would, of course, be established academic contributions. But the world of academia in my field in Australia tends to be rather too oysterlike. So I set out to look for new talent from some of the smaller universities, from colleges of advanced education and institutes of technology. But, even more, I wanted papers from people who are nearly always too busy to bang the typewriter and yet have their own contribution to make: people in advertising who were sweating over refurbishing the party and leader images; people in the polling agencies who might be willing to work over and release some new data; people in the party machines and secretariats; activists and rank-and-file party members; members of the fast-growing Women's Electoral Lobby . . ." @default.
