 The 2016 election is upon us and the Australian National University will be hosting a number of events and discussions to help unwrap the spin and inject a bit of rational research-based analysis into the debate. Every Tuesday night following the budget, public policy experts will come together in front of a live audience to discuss the issues facing Australia in a series of weekly live panel events. Join us at the University on Tuesday nights or if you can't be here, download the podcast. For more information visit anu.edu.au. Every Friday I'll be joined by my ANU colleagues, constitutional law specialist Dr Ryan Goss and political marketing expert Dr Andrew Hughes for a snappy weekly overview of the 2016 election. Jump online to keep up to date with the latest analysis from the nation's capital. More info is available at the ANU website and you can get involved in the discussion on social media using the hashtag Our ANU and Ospole.
