What is the nature of the relationship between our politicians and the great Australian media dynasties? Is the mateship between recent prime ministers and powerful media owners something new, or just business as usual?
In 'Party Games', Bridget Griffen-Foley, who has written extensively about the media, and especially about the Packer family, reveals how post-war governments in Australia learnt to use the media at the same time as the media were learning to shape government.
This important new book tells the fascinating story of the critical relationship between the politicians and the proprietors.
