About the book
How Ethical is Australia? evaluates government policy through responsibilities that extend beyond the country’s borders. Singer and Gregg examine foreign aid, the United Nations, trade, environmental policy and the treatment of refugees.
The book makes ethical arguments about the record and priorities of Australian public life at the time of its publication. It is a historical assessment of policy, rather than a guide to current legislation or government programmes.
Key ideas
- Assessing national policy from a global perspective
- Aid, refugees, trade and environmental responsibilities
- The relationship between ethical principles and public decisions
