Syllabus (HB): A critical and eduring issue for public policy is the role assigned, by government, to the market. During the last three decades, a vast range of Australian public policies have been progressively restructured around the rhetoric and mechanisms of the market as the role of governments has been transformed in delivering policy outcomes. This unit examines: the shift to, and arguments for, market-based policies; the nature of markets; the market mechanisms used to deliver policy objectives; and, the structure and operation of actually existing markets for policies with a widespread impact on the health, well-being and standard of living of the vast majority of Australians.
