Examines how Treasury has evolved- in its economic thinking and
with its influence on policy. Treasury has been at the centre of
every major economic policy issue the Australian Government has
faced, its role evolving from the government's bookkeeper at
Federation in 1901 to the economic policy advising agency it is
today. ;;Throughout its history Treasury has been a robust and
stable institution with a consistent market-oriented economic
framework - but its policy influence has waxed and waned. It has
supported reformist Treasurers such as Keating and Costello, and
been a voice of caution when political imperatives have pushed
governments down economically damaging paths. At times, though,
Treasury advice has been ignored and it has been pushed out into
the cold. ;;Amidst the political chaos of recent times, Treasury
has been dragged closer to government and become a less effective
policy adviser. The consequent lack of a consistent government
economic reform narrative over the last decade is plain for all to
see. ;;Changing Fortunes tracks Treasury's history since
Federation, with a focus on the modern era since its 1976 split
with Finance.
