Australian Election Policy Briefs 2022

Election Policy Briefs collage
Majdina Widodo

The 2022 Australian federal election takes place at a time of global turmoil – a brutal war in Ukraine, confrontational relations between authoritarian China and the democratic West, the economic, political and human toll of the pandemic, and accelerating climate change. How to navigate this rapidly shifting and dangerous new era will be a more prominent feature of campaigning than in recent past elections. The times are consequential, the foreign policy stakes are high. 

Asia Society Australia is pleased to publish a series of election policy briefs to help illuminate these issues and the positions of the major parties on them. Our intent is to capture the most significant foreign policy issues that will shape our engagement with Asia in the future and to contribute to an informed election debate on them. Our authors are drawn from the Asia Society Australia family and from the academic and think tank community. The views expressed are the authors own and do not necessarily represent their organisations or Asia Society Australia.

The briefs will be published progressively as the campaign proceeds. They will be complemented by our Federal Election and Australia’s Foreign Policy: What’s at Stake? event in Sydney and streaming online on 28 April, and conclude with a statement on Asia policy from Asia Society Australia CEO Philipp Ivanov.
