With the crises of the current political and economic order deepening every day, Fabians know that new ideas are as important as ever. That’s why we’ve decided to begin publishing a quarterly print and online magazine, dedicated to envisioning a better future and how to get there.
Each edition is going to have a theme, with a portion of the magazine’s content set aside for exploring it in depth. To help us decide what themes we should work with for the first four editions, we want to hear from our members.
You’ll see ten options below. We’ve deliberately kept them fairly broad to allow our writers plenty of scope for interpretation. We invite you to help us out by choosing the one you would most like to see the new magazine focus on in its first year.
And if you're interested in writing on these topics or anything else, please don’t hesitate to pitch an idea to [email protected]

Q: Are there any other themes you would like to see an edition of the Quarterly Review focus on? A: How do we get a much larger portion of the population thinking and working towards the common good? Because if we don’t we’re ‘stuffed’ due to the huge world population and the massive human ravages on the total environment.

Q: Are there any other themes you would like to see an edition of the Quarterly Review focus on? A: How young and middle aged single people are treated/catered for or not in Australian policy. So much electioneering is directed towards working families, but there is an increasing proportion of single people in the Australian population and they never seem to feature in policy discussions or provisions.

Q: Are there any other themes you would like to see an edition of the Quarterly Review focus on? A: Not sure. Whilst I’m on the mailing list I’m not a dues paying member. This isn’t a criticism, but, “How are Fabians Relevant in an Australian World?” might be cool.
