Does where you are born and who you are born to matters? Poverty, like property of the wealthy, can be handed down through generations from parent to child. Join us at our Inaugural Hugh Stretton Oration with Professor Glyn Davis AC, CEO of the Paul Ramsay Foundation, who will examine intergenerational poverty in Australia and the policy solutions to address it.

Pushback against ICAC? /stretton/events/list/2021/10/webinar-diminishing-public-trust-pushback-against-icac Recent amendments to the Independent Commissioner against Corruption Act in South Australia have narrowed definitions of misconduct, maladministration and corruption reducing the ICAC’s powers. This pushback is examined in this webinar.  Had the ICAC over-reached?  Did it need its wings clipped? Or might something else have been in play?

Will this be a turning point for citizen trust and Australia’s reputation, after Australia’s fall on Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index to its lowest point ever? The Morrison Government’s inability to produce a suitable model for a federal anti-corruption commission in 2018-22 proved pivotal in tipping Australians to change the government, but what next for that reform, and what else is needed to arrest our sliding national integrity performance and restore public trust?
