New Oz think tank: will it make a difference - is this enough?

For some time I have been conscious that The Australia Institute seemed to be the only critical, alternative voice in town (i.e. Oz). Thinks tanks have an important role but I must admit to not knowing the lay of the land here very well, as yet.

None-the-less it is good to see a new one, New Matilda, launched to provide a much needed set of additional perspectives.
