After the landslide of 1975, precipitated by scandals and constitutional crisis, the 1977 elections were striking for the absence of change: the Liberal-National Country party coalition was reelected with virtu- ally no loss of seats. Beneath the surface, however, were significant defections, from both Labor and the coalition, which helped the new Australian Democrat party win almost 10 percent of the votes for the House. The essays in this volume describe Australia's political system and electorate, the election campaign, the role of opinion polls and the media, and the major parties' handling of the economic issues. The contributors, most of them scholars at Australian universities, are David Butler, David Kemp, Patrick Weller, Jean Holmes, Paul Reynolds, Terence Beed, Murray Goot, Ainsley Jolley, Duncan Iron- monger, C. J. Lloyd, and Colin A. Hughes. In an appendix, Richard M. Scammon provides detailed electoral returns. Howard R. Penniman, editor of The Australian National Elections of 1977, is professor of government at Georgetown University, codirector of the Political and Social Processes Center at the American Enterprise Institute, and an election consultant to the American Broad- casting Company. He is the author of several books on government and politics in the United States as well as the editor of a number of volumes in this series of election studies.
