The IPA (Institute of Public Affairs)

The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is an Australian think tank that researches and advocates for free-market policies, limited government, and individual freedoms. Founded in 1943, it aims to influence public debate and policy through research, publications, and events. The IPA emphasizes the importance of private enterprise, tradable markets, and personal responsibility, often providing perspectives that challenge progressive or government-centric approaches. While it promotes free-market principles, its views are sometimes controversial and subject to debate within broader political and social discussions.
