It analyzes six case studies from recent Australian political history, examining the rhetoric used by leaders like Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, Turnbull, and others. By mapping the intricate language of these political figures, the authors provide a fresh perspective on leadership legitimacy, making this work valuable for students and scholars in political science, communication, and rhetorical studies.
