Big Australia or Slash Immigration Debate
March 21, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 96.5 MBFormer prime minister Tony Abbott has recently called for slashing immigration to deal with Australia’s housing and infrastructure challenges.

Calls are growing to move Australia Day away from January 26. But is having the national day on the anniversary of the First Fleet’s arrival in 1788 really insensitive to Indigenous people? How would changing the date help the plight of Aboriginal Australians? And if we change Australia Day, what date should we choose? ____________...
Jacinta Price, Marcia Langton, Josephine Cashman - National Press Club - Indigenous Violence
November 17, 2017 00:00 - 1 hour - 99.9 MBUrgent action is needed to address the epidemic of violence in Indigenous communities.

Josephine Cashman on Impact Investing
October 25, 2017 00:00 - 37 minutes - 51.6 MBPeople have lost faith in both the free market and in government.

July 20, 2017 00:00 - 23 minutes - 32.1 MBThe Australian taxpayer pays considerable support for people in need, but the problems of poverty seem intractable. So, what other issues should we be thinking through?

New and creative intellectual policy ideas need to be considered and the Minister outlined some of these. The primary approach to tackling child poverty...
Taking Control of the Classroom - How Teachers & Principals Can Improve Behaviour in Schools
July 05, 2017 00:00 - 1 hour - 97.5 MBPoor behaviour in schools is a significant factor undermining student achievement. International data suggests behaviour in Australian schools is among the worst in the world, and reviews have found many teachers are not given practical, evidence-based classroom management strategies in initial teacher education courses. Strong, supportive school leadership is crucial. Schools with high standards of behaviour have common practices that can help all schools maintain the orderly, safe culture ...
The Hon Tony Abbott MP - Submarines: Why settle for second best?
June 29, 2017 00:00 - 36 minutes - 49.5 MBMr Abbott says that the biggest regret of his prime ministership was the government's failure to consider acquiring nuclear-powered submarines and, even now, ponders whether this is a debate we need to have.

Australia became the second largest military contributor to the US-led ...

May 04, 2017 00:00 - 1 hour - 97.9 MBToday almost everyone affirms the importance of ‘values’ but few would insist these are shared moral essentials. How is it that the most common term of our political and even private moralities became so relativistic and what, if anything, could be offered as an alternative? Law Professor, cultural observer and theorist on religion and pluralism, Professor Iain Benson, offers us some insights and guidance on steps he argues are essential for education, justice and politics in our time. __...

Henry Ergas - People, Politics & The New Populism
April 05, 2017 00:00 - 43 minutes - 60.1 MBHow does the recent tsunami of populism differ from the past waves? Why are traditional political parties of the centre-right and the centre-left struggling to hold on to their constituencies? At the heart of the challenges they face is the rise of populist movements — ones that straddle the left/right divide, combining elements of nationalism and social conservatism with the defence of entitlement programs, public ownership and protectionism. Professor Ergas’ presentation, which was intended...
Kay Hymowitz - Faux Feminism Traffic Light Equality
March 23, 2017 00:00 - 24 minutes - 34.3 MBThe contemporary western feminist movement has lost its way. Over the past century the feminist movement has achieved remarkable advances in securing equal rights for women in the West, but in other regions around the world women are still treated as second class citizens, the recent push for gender-equal traffic lights in Melbourne has trivialised the important issue of gender equality. Rather than fake feminist causes, how should we address the real obstacles to women’s freedom and opportun...

March 16, 2017 00:00 - 20 minutes - 27.9 MBMost explanations offered for Donald Trump’s ‘inexplicable’ victory in the American Presidential election have resorted to crude stereotypes about the opinions and attitudes of the ‘Deplorables’ – the AKA ‘low information’ voters’ who voted #1 for Trump.

Jack Mintz, Australia Dithers While Canada Acts Tax Reform In
March 13, 2017 00:00 - 29 minutes - 53.5 MBUS President Donald Trump is proposing sweeping tax cuts that will affect every other country. Australia is not well placed to respond, with a lack of major tax reform since 2001. By contrast, Canada has been a successful tax reformer, with the federal-provincial corporate tax rate falling from 43% in 2001 to 27% in 2016 and the virtual elimination of capital taxes, amongst other policies. How will tax changes proposed by Donald Trump affect both countries? Is Canada better placed because of...

Of Lists Undone: Too Hard Or Not Trying?
March 02, 2017 00:00 - 43 minutes - 59.5 MBWith monetary and fiscal policy instruments overextended, reforms to enhance our economy’s supply-side performance have become more necessary than ever if economic stagnation and declining living standards are to be averted.
