N2 - Despite the pace of change to Australian public sector administration and service delivery, the literature concerning annual reports of public sector departments has not provided an account of the changes to the thematic content of reports, nor has it provided explanations that take account of the variety of societal, political and economic factors that may impact annual report content. The purpose of this study is therefore to identify changes in the thematic content of the annual reports of the Department of Social Services/Security (1941-1998) and, by using the social theory of Habermas (1976) ' 'Legitimation Crisis', to provide an explanation for the changes in that contents. The term 'thematic content' refers to the topics of discourse and discussion that can be identified within the annual reports.
