Or conviction?\u003cbr\u003e Both are missing in action, trumped by political expedience.\u003cbr\u003e We've just sat through an election campaign in which the major parties fought a pitched battle over precious little, two bitterly adversarial political organisations scrambling desperately for the middle ground, aiming for the broadest common denominator.\u003cbr\u003e But the problem is bigger than just this election. We are living through a moment in which the pursuit of power seems the sole objective of political activity. True for Julia Gillard, Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott.\u003cbr\u003e Shouldn't someone hold them to account? Our political media perhaps? Why does it just report politics as show business?\u003cbr\u003e The sum of it leaves the rest of us short-changed.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Year My Politics Broke\u003c\/i\u003e, Jonathan Green looks at where politics, truth and disconnection collide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0522864376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780522864373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Melbourne University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jonathan Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453315363071,"sku":"9780522864373","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa5edf09-de6c-45c3-9782-6ac520b8d6ee.jpg?v=1777299539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-year-my-politics-broke-jonathan-green-9780522864373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
