This month I am starting a doctorate at the University of Sydney in the Dept. of Government. I will look at why the union movement (long said to be in steady, irreversible decline) was able to come back to have such an impact on the 2007 election outcome. The topic has many dimensions - modern political campaigning, Australian political culture and more. I have started background reading and the more I read the more interesting it gets. Tips, leads, views and encouragement all welcome!
