The Institute was launched in 1994 to develop and conduct research and policy analysis and to participate forcefully in public debates. In addition, the Institute undertakes research and analysis commissioned and paid for by government, business, unions and community organisations. Those involved in the Institute have each, from different viewpoints, been concerned about the impact on Australian society of the priority given to a narrow definition of economic efficiency over community, environmental and ethical considerations in public and private decision making. A better balance is urgently needed.

It's independent, opinionated and always looking under rocks, definitely not part of the media establishment. It takes its subscribers into the places where decisions are made behind closed doors. It's a two-way conversation which depends on its readers for tips, comments, scoops, rumours, opinions and good old-fashioned whistle-blowing. Political narky Sun, 04 Jun 2006 04:26:11 GMT
