The Centre for Policy Development's 2013 book, Pushing
Our Luck, puts forward compelling,
plain-English solutions to the problems and opportunities awaiting Australia’s next government. The book presents big ideas and insights from critical thinkers on ten big issues that will shape our country well beyond the 2013 election.
Pushing Our Luck
is edited by the Centre for Policy Development's
Miriam Lyons. Authors include public figures such as Jane Caro, Eva Cox and Geoff Gallop and expert contributors such as Ian McAuley, Lisa Heap, John Wiseman, Chris Bonnor, Jennifer Doggett and Roy Green.
Topics range from school funding to national identity, from climate change to responsible economic strategy and from social welfare to fairer taxation. Find a full list of authors, with chapter summaries, at http://cpd.org.au/pushingourluck.
We hope Pushing
Our Luck will revive your zest
for public debate and give us all a chance to set the daily grind of modern politics aside for a moment and focus on what really matters for Australia’s future.
