The T.J. Ryan Foundation is a progressive Australian think tank with a specific focus on public policy in the state of Queensland. The idea of the T.J. Ryan Foundation was initially announced by Queensland Labor leader Annastacia Palaszczuk on 4 May 2012.[1][2] In May 2013, Emeritus Professor Roger Scott was appointed inaugural executive director of the T.J. Ryan Foundation Board, together with the initial Board members.[3]
The T.J. Ryan Foundation was launched on 27 February 2014 at the Gibson Room of the Queensland University of Technology QUT's Gardens Point Campus. The keynote address 'Nepotism, patronage and the public trust' was delivered by Queensland Integrity Commissioner David Solomon. [4] [5] [6]
The Foundation is named in honour of T. J. Ryan, Labor Premier of Queensland from 1915 to 1919.
