While some analysts seek to explain such interplay within neo-Marxist or public choice frameorks, we argue the relationship is best understood as a two-way street, full of tensions but nether a conspiracy against the public interest nor part of a larger design to deradicalise social movements. Drawing on a wide range of Australian examples, but focusing in particular on peak women's and ethnic communities' organisations, we explore how social movements have been able to exert independent influence on the policy agenda
