Short documents on bills, laws and policy questions.
Reports
Policy briefs are short WATAG publications on bills, laws and policy questions. A brief takes one question, sets out what is known about it, and states the position WATAG takes. Briefs are produced for quick reading and for use in advocacy work.
A brief differs from a report in length and in treatment. A report carries the full study behind a subject. A brief distils one question for rapid use. Each brief belongs to a policy subject and to a campaign area.
Briefs on proposed laws while they are before a legislature.
Briefs on laws that have passed and the obligations they place on public bodies.
Briefs on the strategy, framework and guidance documents issued by public institutions.
Documented WATAG positions on the questions briefs address.
