In the coming weeks we will be publishing new research on the rise and rise of the big banks, the economics of coal seam gas and fugitive emissions, and mapping loneliness in Australia.

Further down the pipeline is work on the availability, affordability and quality of childcare, the importance of the co-operatives sector, and as we’ve previously mentioned we’re hoping to fund research on women and equity, public school funding and the case for broadening our tax base.

Following the success of our first two infographics on how Australia compares with other OECD countries in relation to tax and government debt, we hope infographics will play a key role in disseminating our research further through social media.

And in exciting news Richard has finished the first draft of a new book which promises to be thought-provoking for those of us on the progressive side of politics.
