23.01.2022 Refining JobKeeper makes sense, but the fiscal cliff remains steep.

23.01.2022 With fewer resources and home support, disadvantaged students are likely to have lost a month of learning during the COVID-19 lockdowns. A $1 billion tutoring blitz could recover this lost learning. Read our report: http://ow.ly/6Svz50A7sUD

23.01.2022 Having lost AFL to Queensland, the only remaining sport in Victoria is the daily COVID-19 press conference. And its not good enough.

23.01.2022 2021 should be an improvement on last year for most Australians. But to build back better will require a shift in policy thinking.

22.01.2022 When will Australia’s international borders be reopened? It's a question reliant on our much-trumpeted, but troubled vaccine program.

22.01.2022 This week we farewell Grattans CEO of eleven years, John Daley. John was instrumental in setting up the Grattan Institute, and developing our rigorous research programs from the early days until now. His enormous enthusiasm and curiosity has greatly contributed to Australian public policy, and helped change this country for the better. While hes sticking around for the next few months as a Senior Fellow to complete one final report, all the staff at Grattan wish him the very best.

21.01.2022 This may be a recession we had to have. But its the upcoming policy choices that will determine how quickly Australia can recover from the coronavirus crisis.

20.01.2022 Wishing all our followers a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. We know it's been a tough 2020, but we're looking forward to addressing Australia's policy challenges in 2021. We will be taking a break until 11 January. Please email [email protected] with any queries during this time, and we'll get back to you in the new year.
