Those of us who study politics are fortunate, but also unfortunate, to work in an academic field whose terms are widely used and abused in public debate. “Populist”, which I’ve written about here, is one…
Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s fortunes from now on will swing from poll to poll. AAP/Lukas Coch

Living by the polls will be Abbott’s fate from now on
