In Australia, we tend to be good at pointing out what we don’t like about our leaders.<\/p>\n

However, we believe it is vital to identify, honour and engage in conversation about the admirable qualities and accomplishments of outstanding leadership. That is what the McKinnon Prize seeks to do.<\/p>\n

The McKinnon Prize is a rare opportunity to recognise outstanding Australian political leadership, providing a crucial and constructive counterbalance to widespread cynicsm.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2022\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2021\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2020\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2019\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2018\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2017\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t2022\n\t\t
