THIRD WAY FORUM
Welcome to our Third Way Forum. We aim to
create an online forum linking and growing a Third Way community of doers,
thinkers, writers and policy makers.
There is no cost to
participate in the Forum. It will be a moderated discussion forum and information sharing tool which we hope will
have an ongoing life in shaping public debate. There
will be a members section on the website for posting papers, resources and
ideas.
SIGN UP NOW
The Forum will commence on 1 March with a discussion of Mark Latham's
Mutualism
- A Third Way for Australia, 1999. We will follow up
with additional texts and papers, and then on 1 April we will consider the 10
themes up for discussion at the Australia 2020 Summit.
There
are:
- Future directions for the Australian economy
– including education, skills, training, science
and innovation as part of the nation's
productivity agenda
- Economic infrastructure, the digital economy
and the future of our cities
- Population, sustainability, climate change
and water
- Future directions for rural industries and
rural communities
- A long-term national health strategy –
including the challenges of preventative health,
workforce planning and the ageing population
- Strengthening communities, supporting
families and social inclusion
- Options for the future of Indigenous
Australia
- Towards a creative Australia – the future of
the arts, film and design
- The future of Australian governance –
renewed democracy, a more open government
(including the role of the media), the structure
of the Federation and the rights and
responsibilities of citizens
- Australia's future security and prosperity
in a rapidly changing region and world.
On Friday 18 April, prior to
the Australia 2020 bash on the following two days, we will release our Third Way perspectives on these 10
themes. This will take the form of succinct directional statements about
how we should proceed in these areas if we actually take civil society,
social relationships and social capital formation seriously.
These perspectives
will be released in Canberra on 18 April at a
special event preceding the Rudd Summit.
There is no cost to
participate in the Forum. It will be a moderated discussion forum and information sharing tool which we hope will
have an ongoing life in shaping public debate. There
will be a members section on the website for posting
papers, resources and ideas.
