Hi Reddit, I’m Andrew Leigh, Australia’s Assistant Minister for Productivity, Competition, Charities and Treasury, and the Federal Member for Fenner in Canberra.

Tomorrow, I’ll be recording a podcast with the great moderator Bennelong, where I’ll be answering your questions from this thread.

Before politics, I was an economics professor at the Australian National University. I’ve written books on inequality, economics and community life, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we build a fairer, more productive and better-connected Australia.

Happy to take questions on Labor policy, productivity, competition, tax, charities, social trust, Canberra, running, or anything else on your mind.

Ask me anything.
