Brave behind a screen, not so brave on the phone🎙️

Neil Pharaoh received a wave of abusive emails during his 2014 campaign for being pro-choice and openly gay. In this week’s episode of The Pub Test, he shares his experience and what it says about the people who hide behind a screen.

From One Nation’s cartoon targeting Senator Jacqui Lambie to the attack on independent MP Helen Haines, Neil and Erin Watson unpack how online abuse, intimidation and the rise of political violence are shaping Australian politics, and what it all means for our democracy.

Are you Budget Ready?

Budget conversations are happening right now, and it's time for not-for-profit organisations to be ready.

We've brought together years of experience supporting the sector into Tanck's Budget Ready Guide, packed with practical insights to help your organisation make the most of upcoming budget opportunities.

Is One Nation's attack on Senator Jacqui Lambie a new low for Australian politics? 🎙️

This week on The Pub Test, Neil Pharaoh and Erin Watson discuss One Nation’s latest cartoon targeting Senator Jacqui Lambie, and why making a joke of a politician’s physical attributes should never be part of political debate. They also unpack the rise of political violence and intimidation, including the attack on MP Helen Haines, before taking a closer look at the wave of elections around the world and what’s at stake for democracy.

Every quarter, our leadership team comes together in person to talk all things Tanck: planning ahead, reflecting on our clients’ needs and priorities, and exploring how we can continue supporting the not-for-profit sector.

As a team working across Australia’s east coast, these moments are so important. They give us the chance to reconnect beyond the screen, strengthen our shared values, and remind ourselves why we do what we do: helping the not-for-profit sector engage with government and create meaningful change.

And, of course, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to meet Brisbane’s newest visitor - the pink duck, courtesy of Melt Festival🦆💗

Australia's not-for-profits are one of the most trusted parts of public life; yet, most are engaging government only when their funding is on the line.

Tanck and Perpetual Wealth surveyed more than 150 not-for-profits and philanthropic organisations informing our 2026 whitepaper, From Fragmentation to Influence.

🤯69% engage government reactively rather than strategically
😓40% are stretched or not coping
😟15% expect imminent cuts to staff or services

The paper sets out what NFPs and philanthropists can each do to turn trust into influence, including a practical toolkit and checklist.

Should political parties use AI-generated people in campaign ads? :studio_microphone:

This week on The Pub Test, Neil Pharaoh and Dr Erin Watson discuss One Nation's AI-generated campaign advertisement, and whether the bigger issue is the technology itself or campaign ads designed to look and feel like real people. They also unpack the credit card surcharge debate before taking a closer look at protests in France and India and what they say about trust in institutions around the world.

Trust is earned when community knowledge shapes public policy.

The organisations closest to communities often understand their needs, challenges and lived experiences firsthand. When decision-makers listen to these voices and use their insights to inform policy, they can build stronger relationships, make better-informed decisions and strengthen public trust.

💬 Listen to the communities most affected.
💡 Turn lived experience into evidence.
🤝 Build trust through meaningful engagement.

From Fragmentation to Influence explores how stronger connections between civil society, philanthropy and government can create more responsive policy and lasting impact.
