The Australia Institute is part of the big policy debates in Australia. We have challenged the flawed thinking behind Australia's over-reliance on resource extraction, the economic dangers of climate change, the economic and social costs of inequality, and the need for a fairer tax system, among other issues.

We lead debates, we help drive change and with your help our impact is growing every day. Now we are taking another big step.

The 1st of July 2014 seems like a long time ago. We've been busy. Our research has led debates, laid out the facts, busted myths, challenged corporate and mining giants, upset more than a few lobbyists and conservatives, and changed minds. 

Thank you everyone who has read our work, shared or talked about us, or chipped in to help us do what we do. We exist because you support us. To catch up on the goings on at The Australia Institute, you can now download a copy of our Annual report here. 

The Australia Institute is excited to announce we are merging with Jubilee Australia Research Centre.

Jubilee Australia works to raise awareness about harmful government policies and irresponsible behaviour of Australian companies operating overseas, particularly mining companies. Jubilee began as the Australian arm of the world-wide Jubilee movement working for debt cancellation and its research examines practices that violate human rights, environmental and economic well-being in impoverished nations.
