ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Australian Policy Agendas Project began when Peter John came as a Visiting Fellow to the ANU Research School in the Social Sciences to work with Keith Dowding. Peter was working on the UK policy agenda project (that led to Policy Agendas in British Politics, Palgrave 2013) and suggested that an Australian branch of the franchise be set up. Keith recruited Aaron Martin and Andrew Hindmoor. The latter set up an analysis of the governor-general speeches (see Dowding et al. 2010, below). Dowding and Martin were awarded an Australian Research Council grant (ARC Discovery Award DP 110102622); the full-scale project was set in motion. Andy stepped back from the project and from studying Australian politics when he moved from the University of Queensland to Sheffield University, but we are grateful to include work that Andy was originally involved in. Both the ANU and Melbourne University financially supported the project through small grants in addition to the ARC funding. Coding work was conducted at both the ANU and the University of Melbourne. Adam Packer was the Research Officer for two years, and provided oversight of the research assistants in Canberra; Andrew Gibbons performed that function in Melbourne. Coders included Yasmi Adriansyah, Cara Becker, Jeremiah Brown, Ariel C
