Australian Institute for Progress 50 Logan Road, Woolloongabba, Queensland 4102

Welcome to the Australian Institute for Progress, located at 50 Logan Road, Woolloongabba, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to fostering intellectual discourse and research on various socio-political issues that shape the nation.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed a unique opportunity to analyze the advantages of a federal system over a unitary one. This unprecedented situation has allowed us to delve into the benefits and drawbacks of a centralized government versus a more decentralized federal model. Our research aims to shed light on the implications of these systems, providing valuable insights for policymakers and the general public.

At present, voters in Australia find themselves disenchanted with the choices presented by the government and the opposition. Furthermore, there is a moderate lack of enthusiasm regarding the direction of the state. The cost of living, including concerns about housing affordability and electricity expenses, has emerged as a major issue for Australians. As an institution committed to progress, we recognize the importance of addressing these challenges and finding sustainable solutions for the well-being of our society.

The COVID-19 crisis has prompted Australia to reevaluate its centralized approach and move closer to its original federal model. This shift has allowed us to observe and analyze natural experiments that highlight the advantages of a more decentralized system. By studying these experiments, we aim to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the most effective governance models in the ever-changing landscape of our nation.

At the Australian Institute for Progress, we are dedicated to promoting evidence-based research, fostering informed debates, and providing valuable insights into the socio-political fabric of Australia. Join us in exploring the intricacies of our federal system and its implications for our society, as we strive for progress and a better future for all Australians.
