The party sets up policy working groups to investigate a policy area in some depth over the course of 12 to 18 months. The aim of each group is to produce a policy paper, supported by a motion to conference, based on consultations with members and evidence from experts. You can see updates on the progress of the current policy working groups here.
And you can be part of such a working group. The outgoing Federal Policy Committee set up two new ones, and they are now calling for members.
If you are interested in Immigration and Identity and have some knowledge or expertise to bring to the group then click here.
