Cycles of Power (1x1)

: 21, 2009

Cycles of Power explores the political evolution of John Howard. His longest-serving Chief of Staff, Arthur Sinodinos speaks of the hurdles Howard had to overcome, including a lack of both elite connections and natural charisma, offset by patience, tenacity and ferocious ambition. As we watch Howard’s punishing 20-year journey towards the Prime Ministership in 1996, we see the lessons he’s learning and can then watch the strategies he adopts to maintain power and maximize success.
