Tin Tin 2009-10: Ken Henry, King of Canberra
The Tin Tin Index is named in honour of our virtuous Prime Minister Rudd. Tin Tin was of course one of the nicknames that the national press gave him in his campaign against PM Howard in Nov 2007. The Index tracks public virtue in all of the dimensions of Australian national affairs focusing particularly on the Commonwealth government.
