Despite the ever-escalating cost of health posing severe fiscal sustainability challenges, health reform has been dumped even more firmly in the politically too-hard basket since the ‘Mediscare’ federal election. A politically-feasible reform strategy is required to catalyse much-needed innovation in the health sector and deliver more cost-effective healthcare.
Jeremy Sammut, fellow researcher at the CIS discussed what it will take to achieve meaningful change in the $155 billion health sector, and the issues raised in the CIS’ Health Innovation Program’s 2016 report 'Medi-Vation: Health Innovation Communities’.

Rediscovering Humility: Religious Freedom in 21st Century Pluralist Society

Tim Wilson MP is the Federal Liberal Member for Goldstein in Victoria. He is well known as Australia’s former "Freedom Commissioner" and is a proud defender of universal, individual human rights. He has worked with government to reform laws to stop and prevent terrorism, improve economic opportunities for Indigenous Australians, and support marginalised communities. He is a passionate advocate for protecting free speech and religious freedom.
Religious liberty is central to the Australian way of life. It is enshrined in the Australian Constitution. But it is not the only freedom that matters. There is a rising tension between accommodating differing freedoms in 21st century Australia. The changing face of Australia continues to raise challenges about the limits of secularism while creating a society that celebrates diversity. It also creates challenges for the place of religion in the public square. The challenge facing people of faith is how they should react and respond to the increasing diversification of society and the place of faith in contemporary Australia.
