• Allan Patience argues that neoliberal policies have led to economic inequality and the rise of right-wing populist parties like One Nation in Australia.
• Free market think tanks such as the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) and the Australian Financial Review (AFR) have shifted their stance on immigration, now criticizing high immigration despite past support for it.
