Issues and Insights

Challenges for Australia

We are pleased to present Issues and Insights, a new Parliamentary Library publication for the 48th Parliament.

Produced by our policy specialists, Issues and Insights focuses on our complex and fast-changing world, situating national problems in a global context and identifying policy issues and tensions.

The articles engage some of the most pressing issues and policy questions facing Australia today, including Australia’s place in a changing world, climate change, the energy transition, affordable housing, social cohesion, recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and the sustainability of welfare funding. Issues and Insights also grapples with emerging topics that demand fresh thinking – the rise of AI, the changing nature of work, and the regulation of digital platforms. Whether you are a policy expert or simply trying to stay ahead of the curve, we hope you will find something in these pages that sparks ideas, challenges assumptions, and helps make sense of the noise.
