“Australia may well be the world’s most secretive democracy” — Damien Cave, New York TimesA lack of transparency and integrity lies near the heart of every political issue facing Australia.
In our climate policies, our defence procurement and even in how we develop our public policy – flimsy excuses obscure even flimsier decision-making.
So how can we reverse a culture of secrecy?
The 2024 Transparency Summit will connect those who have been stonewalled – and keep the pressure on all levels of government to ensure the interests of all Australians are represented in our policy-making process.

+ Professor Allan Fels AO, Professor of Law, and Economics and Business, University of Melbourne, and Monash University
