This book has been edited by Andrew Podger, Michael de Percy and Sam Vincent. Andrew has worked with John for over 25 years, first through the Institute of Public Administration Australia and the editorial board of AJPA, then, since 2005, at ANU. Andrew was also on ANZSOG’s foundation board and helped with the establishment of the Sir John Bunting chair at ANU.
