What might help Australia come out of lockdown with the chance to build a better future?

As Adir Shiffman puts it, we need de-risk the economy by becoming more creatively diverse.

It could be many a thing — but should be soon if we’re to have a whole lot of Australians with more time on their hands.

What do you think?
