From Barton's black bag stuffed full of Prime Ministerial correspondence through to the golden age of newsprint, the growth of radio, the
invention of television and the rise of the Internet and the iPad.
Though the consumers have been early adopters of new communications technology our governments have remained cautious to implement
this evolving technology quickly.
PMs have been contentious in their control and legislation for the roll out of first newspapers and magazines, then wireless, radio, television, pay television and finally the Internet. On Message: Political Communications of Australian Prime Ministers 1901 - 2014 examines all 28 Australian Prime Ministers.
