A competition in Australia:
The Australian Fabians are running a young writers’ competition, for those aged 18-28. First prize is a trip to London, to work in the think tank Demos for a month. Second prize is two months working for Demos in London.
Seriously though:
Spend a month with the UK’s leading think tank
Demos? Leading? Think tank even? Aren’t these the people that fired Madeleine Bunting because she was too sane?

Per Capita, Australia’s newest progressive think tank
That’s “progressive” as in Neil “Best UK Blog” Clark and Terry Kelly, isn’t it?

They’re OK are Demos, although lefties, they published a flat-tax paper by Conservative MP Nigel Forman back in 1996, which reignited the debate.

Good to see that your scepticism about recycling doesn’t apply to old jokes, but the second prize is actually an internship in *Australia*.

I find it hard to believe anyone sacked Ms Bunting because she was too sane. Indeed I have heard various rumours of reasons, but none of them are printable here.
