Dr Charles Livingstone of the DEPM has received funding from the ARC for his work on the project titled Corporate political activity of tobacco, alcohol and gambling companies in Australia.

The study will develop guidelines for industry-government interaction to ensure maximum public benefit.The ARC has awarded the study the following funds
2013: $25,000
2014: $50,000
2015: $50,000
