Oh sure. All those people at Grattan ( and the Australia Institute and Beyond Zero Emissions etc ) don'y know what they are talking about .
But right wing anonymous posters with no credentials on hc do.
" Independent, rigorous and practical
Grattan Institute is dedicated to developing high quality public policy for Australia’s future. It was formed in 2008 in response to a widespread view in government and business that Australia needed a non-partisan think tank providing independent, rigorous and practical solutions to some of the country’s most pressing problems.These three words are vital to Grattan’s mission. We are independent, taking the perspective of the Australian public interest rather than any interest group. We receive no ongoing government funding and reject commissioned work to ensure this independence. We are rigorous in obtaining the best available evidence from our own data analysis and from published work. And we are practical in articulating what governments should do to improve the lives of all Australians. All our reports and most of our events are free and can be viewed online.Grattan’s current policy programs are Budget Policy and Institutional Reform, Energy, Health, Household Finances, School Education, and Transport and Cities. All these policy areas are vital to shaping Australia’s direction as a liberal democracy in a global economy.They are also areas where fact-based analysis and lively debate can change the minds of policy makers and the public, and where key issues are not being resolved.Grattan has had a substantial impact on a wide variety of policy debates, as documented in its annual Impact Report.Grattan began with a $15 million endowment from each of the Federal and Victorian Governments. BHP Billiton provided $4 million and the National Australia Bank $1 million. In order to safeguard our independence, Grattan Institute’s board controls the endowment. The funds are invested and Grattan uses the income to pursue its activities. "
