Barton Deakin Brief: Social Media Thought Leaders
Updated for the 45th Parliament
31 August 2016
This Barton Deakin Brief lists individuals and institutions on Twitter relevant to policy and political
developments in the federal government domain.
These institutions and individuals either break policy-political news or contribute in some form to
“the conversation” at national level. Being on this list does not, of course, imply endorsement from
Barton Deakin.
This Brief is organised by categories that correspond generally to portfolio areas, followed by
categories such as media, industry groups and political/policy commentators.
This is a “living” document, and will be amended online to ensure ongoing relevance. We recognise
that we will have missed relevant entities, so suggestions for inclusions are welcome, and will be
assessed for suitability.
How to use:
If you are a Twitter user, you can either click on the link to take you to the author’s Twitter page
(where you can choose to Follow), or if you would like to follow multiple people in a category you
can click on the category “List”, and then click “Subscribe” to import that list as a whole.
If you are not a Twitter user, you can still observe an author’s Tweets by simply clicking the link on
this page.
