Australians are
dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic well. But they aren’t dealing so well with what
has been identified by noted epidemiologists like Professor Michael Marmot as
an “epidemic of disempowerment”. In the face of the biggest challenges
like climate change, growing tensions between global powers and growth in
inequality, Australians' confidence in their democracy has declined
substantially. But there is a way to organise ourselves to use our
democracy more efficiently and fairly. We can integrate our plans for the
future. See how in this launch of Australia's first national long term plan
- "Australia Together":

Australians are
travelling towards an unknown future without a map. We have no agreed idea
about where we are headed to or what we would prefer to become as a nation by
2030, 2040 or 2050. Nor do we have a clear picture of where we are starting
from in the early 2020s. However, a new consolidated National Wellbeing Index
is now being built to show the current facts of our social, environmental,
economic and democratic wellbeing. The National Wellbeing Index is being developed
and published in “Australia Together”, our nation’s first long term plan. See
the Index at:
