All politics is local

Article Abstract:

Australia's unconcern for the Asian economic crisis may prove detrimental to its own economy. One reason for Australia's lack of interest in international politics was the 1998 federal elections, which shifted the public's attention towards tax reform and domestic issues. The political and cultural differences between Asia and Australia may also explain the inefficient media coverage on an event that could have major economic consequences for Australia.

Politics with a dash of vinegar

Article Abstract:

Australia in 1998 is in the midst of major political changes. Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party is seen by many Australians as a welcome change from politics that has dominated the country since 1985. The One Nation party in Jun 1998 received 23% of the primary vote and is considered the third largest party in the State parliament.
