Advocacy Groups
This page points to advocacy sites of interest for the
November 2001 federal election. Several of the organisations
have issued policy statements regarding the net, the information
economy and the election. The IIA, for example, has articulated
strategies and objectives that fill the policy void in
the ALP and LP platforms.

In contrast to the US, Australian public policy think

prone to preaching to the converted in a country that
overall's been wary of political intellectuals.
