The School of Political Science and International Studies was proud to co-host with the Institute for Social Science Research and Centre for Policy Futures a public lecture delivered by Professor Mark Considine, Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Melbourne.
The lecture focused on the arrival of the ‘choice revolution’ as a cure for several public sector ills. Bi-partisan interest in having agents carry out service delivery and to hold the government role more firmly as ‘steering, not rowing’ – or ‘funding, not doing’ - created a new architecture for many core public services. We will examine some of the cases and show how the core ideals of the new model were tested in practice.
