ELRI and The University of Queensland Economics Society (UQES) held another successful “Policy Pitch Competition.”

It involved the entrants researching a topic of their choice, making a 10 minute presentation and being cross examined by the panel comprised of Associate Professor Dr. Peter Earl, School of Economics (UQ) Dr. Bruce Littleboy, School of Economics (UQ) and Professor Jeff Mann, Director of ELRI. Again, the standard of the papers and the presentations were very high. The Panel of judges decided that there be joint winners, Sally Duncan “Shock and Ore – WA’s GST Redistribution Woes” and Jack Donnelly and Laurie Bristow “Mates Rates”.
