Margaret Chambers is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs.

A lover of people and ideas, Margaret is interested in the study of history, Christianity, and the Australian settlement. She is passionate about defending Australia’s Judeo-Christian heritage, including the ideas of liberty, mercy, and justice.

It was at university that Margaret encountered censorious nature of socialist political thought intensified by cancel culture. As someone open to debate and new ideas, the militant nature of this cohort, and their alliance with those who had captured Australia’s institutions, served as a catalyst for her to engage deeply in policy and research.

Margaret is currently a Research Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs, where she focuses the policy areas of freedom of speech and religious freedom throughout Australia.
