Abstract

This thesis is about recent developments in the Australian welfare state. The historical focus is on the Federal Labor administration in Australia in the 1980s. It is concerned with questions about the public administration in society with regard to social welfare. This concern covers the internal arrangements of the bureaucracy, its effect on society through its actions, and its interactions with society that influence its operation.
