In this edition we publish a collection of papers presented at the recent "New Politics - New Visions for Australia" seminar covened by Geoff Boucher, Matt Sharpe and David McKnight at Deakin University, Geelong.

They sought to bring together a small but significant gathering of progressive people to discuss political and social issues at the level of ideas and long term visions.

InSight's writers delve into Australia's tax system and call for an opening of the minds and a little widening of the pockets. They uncover uncomfortable truths and reconnect the tax debate with our fundamental assumptions about what Australia's future should look like.
