Paperback. Zustand: Good. 'WARNING: This book contains painful truths for journalists and politicians.& it provides a pitiless, first-hand exposure of the trivialisation of our national discourse by the media, aided and abetted by the political classes.'

Under siege from commercial pressures and technological innovation, The media are retreating into an entertainment frame that has little tolerance for complex social and economic issues. In turn, politicians and parties are adapting their behaviour to suit the new rules of the game &. to such an extent that the contest of ideas is being supplanted by the contest for laughs.The two key rules that now govern the practice of Australian politics are: (1) Look like you're doing something; and (2) Don't offend anyone who matters. These imperatives are a direct consequence of the interaction between media coverage and political activity &. the aggregated outcome of countless individuals acting rationally in pursuit of their own interests. The sideshow syndrome, The overall result of these actions, Is a direct threat To The nation's well-being.WHEN LINDSAY TANNER resigned in 2010 as the ALP's federal minister for finance and member for Melbourne, having had an 18-year career as an MP, he notably managed to retire with his reputation for integrity intact.
