think tanks needed
There is a story in the Australian Financial Review about Frank Lowy establishing an Australian think tank that focuses on international affairs.(subscription required). He will provide it with $5-6m per year from his own salary ($12m) for 5-6 years. It is called the Lowy Institute for International Policy.
We need more of these. This is too narrow. Its time the Packers and the Murdocks chipped in, don't you think? Help to contribute to the nation's intellectual life by picking up on the American idea of philanthropy.
