A new study reveals a dramatic shift in Question Time: prime ministers now face nearly half of all opposition questions—up from just 26% in the 80s. The focus has narrowed to a heavyweight showdown, sidelining other ministers. Julia Gillard stands out, taking 62% of attacks—a pattern research links to female leaders facing more scrutiny, especially during her tense clash with Tony Abbott. The opposition even changed tactics under Gillard, using deputy leader Julie Bishop to target PMs indirectly. But this spotlight on the top dog may come at the cost of deeper policy scrutiny.
