At electionWIRE we were lucky to have a number of partner organisations on board to help us keep the project moving forward. Our partners stepped in to help with training, promoted our content through their networks, and uploaded videos to the YouTube channel. 

Centre For Policy Development

The Centre for Policy Development (CPD) is a public interest think tank dedicated to seeking out creative, viable ideas and innovative research to inject into Australia’s policy debates. Ben Eltham and Eva Cox are CPD fellows who undertook training sessions with electionWIRE reporters at the outset of the project.
