The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is an independent, non-profit public policy think tank in Australia, dedicated to preserving and strengthening the foundations of economic and political freedom.
The IPA believes in the free market of ideas, the free flow of capital, a limited and efficient government, the rule of law, and representative democracy. These are the ideas which, throughout history, have proven themselves to be most dynamic, liberating and exciting.
