Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Featured article

Abstract

The solid toiler or the future PM without roots in the local community? The local worthy or the blow-in on the make? These are choices bedevilling party preselections across politics on the eve of a likely May 14 federal election, less than two months from now.

The solid toiler could, of course, turn out to be a future leader – think former supermarket trolley boy Peter Malinauskas, just elected as South Australia’s Premier.
