Report from the Department of Home Affairs (AU) Strengthening Democracy Taskforce

Five ideas from the report, Strengthening Australian Democracy: a practical agenda for democratic resilience​

  1. Democracy is a national asset worth protecting.

  2. Australians can draw inspiration from our long traditions of strengthening democracy through ingenious means.

  3. Australia’s democracy today is strong, but vulnerable.

  4. Like others around the world, Australia’s democracy faces a new constellation of challenges.

  5. A strong democracy is a resilient democracy. Practical approaches to democratic resilience should combine protection, engagement, and experimentation.

The Minister for Home Affairs Clare O’Neil gave a speech at the Press Club on the themes in the report.
