Katherine asked the question: “Online activism is fantastic for its wide reach and ease of accessibility, but can it replace traditional forms of political engagement? How important do you think it is that citizens learn about and be prepared to use traditional tools with which they can influence institutions and organisations - such as participation in consultation processes, creative use of shareholder rights and legal avenues of inquiry and appeal?”

Katherine asked the question: “Though many Australians take their existence for granted today, political parties are a relatively recent invention. Do you think that the rise of political parties in Australia's electoral scene (as opposed to independent members of parliament) has strengthened or eroded the security our democratic institutions and quality of our political debate?”
