A 30-million-dollar pitch to establish a new Institute of Ethics could increase Australia’s GDP by “$45 billion per year” claims the executive director of The Ethics Centre Simon Longstaff.
Unions, business groups and Independents including Allegra Spender and David Pocock have joined the push to establish a new Institute of Ethics.
The 30-million-dollar pitch would contribute to more “ethical” policy and more equitable outcomes.
“At the level of the economy an investment of $33 million would lead to an annual increase in our GDP of $45 billion per year,” Mr Longstaff told Sky News of the pitch.
“Not by magic, simply by restoring trust in our institutions.
“There is also key national security implications which is why we have former chiefs of defence backing this because they understand that this is part of Australia’s contribution to developing and deploying its soft power.”

Soft power is useless without a defence force. Why aren't ppl joining the new woke ADF?
Defund the woke beuracracy and save the taxpayers billions.
Whose ethics? Catholic ethics? Surely not. Im guessing woke, diversity, equity and inclusion ethics. Want to bet?
Hand that money to the taxpayers you Frauds
The woke mind virus.
It will have the opposite result of what they are saying.
We are already over-governed. No.
The institutions abuse the people using anything they can as excuse then want to use the peoples tax dollars to try pretend they have ethics…..
Allowing ourselves to increasingly be imprisoned it seems.
Not one fact and a load of bs.
This is a complete power grab to ultimately control all sectors of industry & society.
I don't trust the far too slick verbage from this guy. He's spouting theories not truth.
Who decides what is ethical?
The word ethics no longer belongs on this wasteland freakshow planet
Simon wants a taxpayer funded bludgers job for life
Get a real job
Simon Longstaff is a megalomaniac. Listen to him. He wants to change the entire ethical foundation of Australia. Do you trust government bureaucrats to design an ethical civilization for you? The hubris of this man to think HE is the one to do such a thing. PS ANYONE who claims a 1000% return on investment is a huckster. Give him 33 million and you'll see a return of 45 billion. loll
Yeah l can hear the new rules, "Do no harm unless Big Phara says So" that will bring them in.
Simon please do take ur ethics elsewhere 😮
Would that be the same as the…American' ..foundation for democracy'..travels the world funding and encouraging terrorism in an attempt to overthrow democratically elected world leaders
When we don't like what you say or do, it will be branded unethical by yet another clown show of a government control freak agency.
Additionally, a magic $45billion will suddenly appear.
Yeahhhhhh nahhhh
C.C.P funded?
Diversity must be outlawed
THESE PREDATORIAL CORPORATES & THE FAR LEFT CRACKPOTS WHO LEECH OFF THEM KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ETHICS
🤤 Marxist GRIFT….😂 It's dog's nuts obvious…geez these miserable toads never give up.
Just another scam of transferring taxpayer money to private individuals.
