Menzies Research Centre
The Menzies Research Centre (est. 1994) is a conservative think tank run by the Australian Liberal Party which "undertake[s] research into policy issues which will enhance the principles of liberty, free speech, competitive enterprise, limited government and democracy.". It is partially funded by the federal government, but also makes large donations to the Liberal Party. It is used by the Liberal Party to funnel donation, since donations to the Centre are tax-deductible. The MRC is one of only seven organisations mentioned by name in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 as tax-deductible gift recipients.
