Expert information you can trust. The country’s top thinkers provide their evidence-based research and insights on our most significant challenges in a year of consequential decisions.

This was a year of consequential decisions – not just for Australia, but the world. In Australia, the year was dominated by a historic referendum on the Voice to Parliament, transforming its military to respond to the shifting security challenges in the region and how the government help everyday Australians to weather a housing crisis, inflation, rising costs of living and overall economic uncertainty.

Globally people grappled with the continuing war in Ukraine, the ethical considerations of artificial intelligence and how best to respond to the latest devastating reports on climate change.

The Conversation authors have been at the forefront of the debates over these issues, providing evidence-based research to help guide both policy-makers and everyday Australians make informed decisions at a consequential time.
