These publications are a series of critiques of government consultations, ranging from homelessness policy to environmental impact statements. All too often these consultations are conducted within a narrow framework that takes certain assumptions from granted. Position Papers aim to question these preconceptions.

"Decent homes' are apparently analogous with 'decent neighbourhoods'. This represents a not so subtle shift from the onus on government to ensure that housing is fit for habitation and in sufficient supply, to an emphasis on the kinds of 'decent' behaviour that will enhance the experience of living in an area (and even in a home) of indeterminate physical quality."

"In the consultation, the principle of sustainability is sacrosanct, but this response takes such governmental didacticism to task and suggests that the implications of the review will have negative consequences for educational standards, and for education per se."
