Purpose of Debate
Articles in Debate aim to inform and educate readers on:
• Ideas, discussion and major arguments in support of and opposed
to key legislative policy and Government issues and public debates.
• Focus on exposing, comparing and critically analysing public policy issues or party policy positions.
• Scholarship that explores and compares an ethical approach with other world views to social policy issues and other matters of interest facing the nation.
With the intent to:
Provide the platform for serious discussion and a forum for experts to analyse legislation and public policy free from political and religious bias or preference.
• Highlighting the philosophical underpinnings of the legislation or policy, analyse and compare issues that relate to Australian ethical values and other world views in a balanced, considerate way.
• Preempt, influence and debate mainstream public opinion and discourse with researched articles providing high level critical analysis and clear recommendations for legislation and policy.
• Be a resource for Parliamentarians in seeking to explore the ethical approach to the legislative and policy issue.
