In his new book "From Resistance to Reform: Case studies of long term social justice advocacy in Australia", Prof Philip Mendes presents a comprehensive historical and political analysis of four policy areas where reform was achieved after many years of neglect. Including:

- Young people transitioning from out-of-home care
- Medically supervised injecting facilities
- Social security payments for the unemployed, and
- Compulsory income management

Prof Mendes joined Per Capita at their November John Cain Lunch to make the argument for governments to introduce policy development processes and networks that include active engagement with knowledge from domestic and global research studies.
