The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) is a conservative non-profit free market public policy think tank,[2][3][4] which is based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It advocates free-market economic policies, such as privatisation,[5] deregulation of state-owned enterprises, trade liberalisation, deregulation of workplaces, abolition of the minimum wage,[6] criticism of socialism,[7] and repeal of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975.[8] It also rejects large parts of climate science.[9]
The IPA was founded during World War II by businessmen in response to the growing power of the Labor Party and international socialism, and has typically aligned with, and supported, the Liberal Party in politics. It has in the past funded and created advertising campaigns for anti-Labor candidates, and has had an impact on Liberal Party policies,[10][11] according to former prime minister John Howard.[12]
