Barton Deakin Brief: Social Media Thought Leaders
Updated for the 45th Parliament
31 August 2016
This Barton Deakin Brief lists individuals and institutions on Twitter relevant to policy and political developments in the federal government domain.
These institutions and individuals either break policy-political news or contribute in some form to “the conversation” at national level. Being on this list does not, of course, imply endorsement from Barton Deakin.
This Brief is organised by categories that correspond generally to portfolio areas, followed by categories such as media, industry groups and political/policy commentators.
This is a “living” document, and will be amended online to ensure ongoing relevance. We recognise that we will have missed relevant entities, so suggestions for inclusions are welcome, and will be assessed for suitability.
