Left Right is Australia's first independent and non-partisan think-tank of young minds. Our mission is to involve young people in public policy. Our vision is for a society that seeks and embraces the ideas of young people.

We believe the challenges our nation faces are of unprecedented and profound complexity. In rising to these challenges we need to forgo the traditional left-right paradigms and embrace the marketplace of ideas.

In this climate of global uncertainty we need new visions and new ideas. Young people are a valuable resource often overlooked by traditional policy makers.

The challenges we face are great, as are the solutions we have to offer, with hard heads, soft hearts and young minds...

There are many ways you can become involved with Left Right and help support our work in generating ideas for the future.

• Economics & Environmental Policy
• Foreign & Strategic Policy
• Health & Education Policy
