Beginning in the mid 1980s, a new organisational form was born in Australian politics: the single-issue advocacy group of the right. Emerging out of the phenomenon of the 'New Right', the H.R. Nicholls Society (which was formed in 1986 and concerned with industrial relations), the Samuel Griffith Society (formed in 1992, concerned with constitutional issues), the Bennelong Society (formed in 2000, concerned with Indigenous affairs), and the Lavoisier Group (formed in 2000, concerned with climate change), were each established by Western Mining Corporation executives Hugh Morgan and Ray Evans, and various other figures associated with the political right. These organisations did much more than argue for specific policy reforms, they set out to change the way Australians thought.
