Donate to our End of Financial Year Appeal
Powerful interests use fear, distortion and delay to uphold the status quo.
Because fossil fuel subsidies, policies that widen inequality, gas corporations avoiding tax benefit them – not ordinary Australians.
The Australia Institute exists to challenge powerful interests.
We produce independent research that exposes who benefits from bad policy. We contest narratives used to defend the status quo, taking on the economic and media orthodoxy in the process. And we make the case for reform long before it is popular, easy or politically convenient.
That work takes time. And it only happens because people like you fund it.
Your End of Financial Year donation will power the research, analysis and public pressure needed to fight vested interests when it matters most – and turn good ideas into government policy.
Every donation over $2 is tax deductible.
Will you make an End of Financial Year donation today to power this fight for the year to come?
Your impact
Some of the recent impact of our work includes:
- Playing a critical role in the Federal Government’s decision to redesign the Stage 3 tax cuts to deliver an additional $84 billion dollars from high income earners to low- and middle-income earners over the next ten years, the culmination of five years of Australia Institute research and advocacy
- The announcement of no less than six different inquiries into prices and price-gouging, following our influential research exposing how excessive corporate profits were largely responsible for the burst of inflation that followed COVID lockdowns.
- The establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, following a decade of research and advocacy from the Australia Institute exposing the serious flaws and gaps in our integrity system.
- Exposing how around 75% of Australia's gas is exported overseas, over half (56%) of gas exported from Australia attracts zero royalty payments, effectively giving a public resource to multinational gas corporations for free.
But we couldn't do it without supporters like you.
The Australia Institute is not government-funded. We are powered by donations from philanthropy and by thousands of supporters across the country who value research that matters, as well as grants and commissioned work.
