'Politics, Media and Campaign Language' is an original, groundbreaking analysis of the story of Australian identity told through Australian election campaign language. Introducing the concept of identity security, the book argues that the story of Australian identity is characterised by recurring cycles of anxiety and reassurance, which betray a deep underlying feeling of insecurity.
