InSight is currently seeking submissions to the 'Inside the Sausage Factory' edition

It is said that laws are like sausages: it is best not to see them being made. But unless more people understand the policy-making process - and how to influence it - we'll never solve  Australia's most pressing policy challenges. In the next edition of InSight we don our shower caps and step inside the sausage factory, uncovering the ingredients of success and exposing the unsavoury influences that can make policies unfit for public consumption.

Deadline: Please send submissions to editor(at)cpd.org.au by July 10, 2009.
