    DEMOCRACY. ARE YOU IN? MEDIA KIT MEDIA ENQUIRIES: Annika Scott [email protected] 02 6270 8165 l 0400 946 608 MEDIA RELEASE 3 August 2018 AUSTRALIAN DEMOCRACY: ARE WE IN CRISIS? MoAD opens new, thought provoking exhibition: Democracy. Are You In? If there is a single word which characterises the Democracy. Are You In? exhibition opening this week at the Museum of Australian Democracy, it would be trust. And that’s a quality that’s in worryingly short supply in Australian politics. The Museum of Australian Democracy’s new exhibition has an urgent question for you: Democracy. Are You In? Arising from a research partnership between MOAD and the University of Canberra’s Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis (IGPA), the exhibition’s starting point is evidence that we’re increasingly disconnected from government. IGPA found “compelling evidence of the increasing disconnect between government and citizen reflected in the decline of democratic satisfaction, trust in politicians, political parties and other key institutions”. Here’s how Professor Mark Evans who heads IGPA explains it: “Everyone says distrust of government is part of the Australian culture, but if you look at survey data, there has been a stark decline since the John Howard era. We’ve had some peculiar high profile events that did not play out well in the electorate with the dismissal of several prime ministers. Those incidents figure very strongly when you discuss issues of integrity within focus groups. When you ask about the characteristics of an ideal politician, the key dimensions are integrity, local connection, and delivery.

    All in the family: Nationals still moving with times LARRY ANTHONY Cartoon: Eric Lobbecke 12:00AM MARCH 13, 2020 One hundred years is an amazing record and what better way to tell the story of the Nationals than through the eyes of one family that has been involved from the start, the Anthonys. My family’s parliamentary representation spans 56 years, but our party connections are much older. I want to take you back to some of the great moments of our history and the characters of those times. Our party’s history was shaped during and after the Great War. My grandfather, Hubert Lawrence Anthony, was 18 years old and recovering from war wounds received in Gallipoli when he was visited by prime minister Billy Hughes in London. This left a lasting impression, and was to plant the seeds of his political ambition. HL Anthony was elected to parliament as the member for Richmond, NSW, in October 1937 and entered the ministry in 1940. His wife, my father Doug’s mother, died unexpectedly in 1941 when Doug was 12. The boy was sent to boarding school and spent many school holidays living with his father at the Kurrajong Hotel in Canberra and with the run of Parliament House. “That was my playground — the parliament,’’ he’d tell us. “I used to rollerskate around the lower floors of Parliament House and could virtually go anywhere in the building … I could go up to the prime minister’s office, where I knew the staff, many of them living in the Kurrajong Hotel.” It was a handy grounding.
