Alex Oliver, Director of Research at the Lowy Institute (Peter Morris/Sydney Heads) Published 16 Jul 2021 09:59 0 Comments
Today is my last day at the Lowy Institute after 14 years. With Sydney in a Covid-19 lockdown, this is not quite the farewell I had imagined. But one advantage of working from home is the time to reflect (once you tire of talking to the walls). In 2007 I was a “refugee from the law”, as a former boss liked to say. I had little idea of what I wanted to be when I finally grew up but had some notion of contributing to Australian policy-making.
