The Foundation for National Renewal
  Working for a better Australia through constitutional reform

The Foundation for National Renewal was created in the first year of the new century, for the purposes of encouraging education and promoting public discussion, understanding and review of the Australian Constitution and our system of government. It has an Australia-wide membership and is an independent, non-partisan body, registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission as a non-profit organisation.

The Foundation has now published two books, as an important contribution to the debate on constitutional reform:
Book 1: Drafting a New Constitution for Australia: A Grass Roots Approach
Book 2: The First Draft of a Constitution for the Sovereign Nation of Australia
An Order Form is available for downloading.
