Urban Australia represents a vast majority of the national population and many metropolitan Australians remain pitifully unaware of the potentially devastating issues confront rural Australia. Likewise, many Australians are unaware of the real adversity which Indigenous Australians face everyday. Left Right Think-Tank will focus on water resource management, the equal provision of health and education services in rural areas, long term improvements to the welfare of Indigenous Australians and improving Indigenous representation in policy decision-making.

Current key focus areas:

• Provision of adequate healthcare and education services to rural Australia and indigenous communities;
• Water management post-2020; and
• Indigenous representation in the Australian political system
