Episode 50: Conversations about Australia Together - Part 7

This is the final episode in our series of conversations with a range of inspiring Australians about Targets and Strategies in Australia Together.

Australia Together is the nation’s first long term, integrated plan for a better future for everyone. It is being progressively developed by Australians for Australians so that we can tell our governments what we want them to do for us as a cohesive, democratic community.

In this episode ACFP’s Executive Director David Kelly and Founder Bronwyn Kelly discuss progress with the Australia Together project and barriers to its implementation, chief among them being Australia’s laws on electoral funding which are undermining the ability of Australians to participate as political equals in their own democracy.

Last week Bronwyn posted an article on the Strategies currently in Australia Together for electoral reform. The article shows how strategies to stop corruption of elections are necessary to achieve political equality for Australians.

Ideas raised during the series will be translated into Issue No. 8 of Australia Together, due for release by August 2024.
