Welcome to our online ‘ThinkTank’
ThinkTank is the Labor Connect Community’s policy incubator. Sign up now to contribute your policy ideas, share your feedback and vote on other policy ideas. Watch good ideas bubble to the top, helping Federal Labor form better policy.
Everyone is welcome to participate. Join party supporters, members and ministers and participate in Labor’s policy development.
How ThinkTank will work
Topics
Each ThinkTank will be about a specific policy idea so we can keep the ideas generated as constructive as possible. Once we open a ThinkTank it is all over to you.
Contribute
You can contribute your policy suggestion and then vote and comment on which policy ideas you like best.
The ideas that rise to the top will be submitted to the National Policy Committee for consideration in developing the Party Platform. ThinkTank members will have had more direct input into the Platform than ever before in our Party’s history.
ThinkTank and your local Branch
ThinkTank topics are great discussion starters at local branches. We encourage all Party Units to discuss ThinkTank topics and incorporate them into their normal activities. Nominate a member of your branch to post the idea and encourage everyone to vote up your Branch’s policy idea so it rises higher up in ThinkTank.
