The Susan McKinnon Foundation has been privileged to work with Percy Allen since 2019, building on the previous work of the Evidence Based Policy Research Project (EBPRP), an independent not-for-profit that advocated for evidence-based public policymaking.
The EBPRP was instrumental in the NSW Legislative Council’s adoption of a Standing Order for all government bills to answer a Statement of Public Interest (SPI) questionnaire that addresses the need and evidence base for the Bill.
We will pay tribute to his extraordinary legacy by naming our program of work on optimising the Statement of Public Interest in his honour.
