Gruen Nation is a series of extra-length, extra strength, election specials from the makers of The Gruen Transfer. Hosted by Wil Anderson, and featuring regulars Todd Sampson and Russel Howcroft, Gruen Nation runs an X-Ray over the 2010 federal election, examining the advertising as well as the other tricks and tactics parties use to get their messages out. Our advertising gurus are joined by an impressive trio of political insiders and campaign veterans: Dr John Hewson, former leader of the federal Liberal party; Neil Lawrence, the ad man behind Kevin 07; and Annabel Crabb, author and regular commentator on ABCs The Drum. Like its parent show, Gruen Nation separates the brilliance from the bunkum. And not just from the 2010 election, but from down the years and around the world. Gruen Nation brings you an election campaign as youve never seen it before from the inside.
