To effectively serve their communities, charities also participate in politics: campaigning for changes to law and government policy, challenging government decisions, and seeking to influence public opinion on contested issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, charities that speak out politically have long faced difficulties in law. For many years, Australian charities engaging in political advocacy risked losing their charity status under an old common law rule. In a landmark decision in 2010, the High Court of Australia swept that rule away. Despite this, successive federal governments have tried to use the law in various ways to interfere with charity advocacy thought to be politically embarrassing or undesirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCharities matter, and so does the legal framework in which they operate. \u003ci\u003eCharities \u0026amp; Politics\u003c\/i\u003e argues for a principled approach to the legal task of ascertaining the public benefit of charity advocacy, an approach underpinned by liberal democratic values. This would provide charities with a powerful framework to resist government efforts to interfere when they speak out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA principled legal approach to charity advocacy holds promise in another way as well: it can promote a politics of the common good characterised by trust, as opposed to the dismal politics built on self-interest and fear that we see too often today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076454236396,"sku":"9781923192003","price":22.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a604af0d7aa62a0b6103cd46b069705d.jpg?v=1765221197"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/matthew-harding.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
