Thursday 5 November 2020 from 12pm to 1pm
Via Zoom
With Tanya Plibersek, Tim Soutphommasane, Adrian Pisarski, and Verity Firth.
In 2020, we've done the inconceivable – school children moved overnight to online learning; banks offered mortgage holidays; unemployment benefits were doubled; housed rough sleepers and put a hold on evictions; offered wages subsidies and stayed home from the beach and the pub in the collective interest of our community.
So how do we ensure these positive initiatives stay in place as we move into a post-COVID world?
Join us – hours after the close of the US election – to reimagine a better Australia; with a stronger economy, a fairer society, and a more environmentally sustainable future.
Panellists:
The Hon. Tanya Plibersek, Shadow Minister for Education and Training and Federal Member of Parliament for Sydney.
The Hon. Verity Firth, Executive Director of Social Justice at UTS.
Prof. Tim Soutphommasane, Professor of Practice (Sociology and Political Theory) and Director of Culture Strategy at The University of Sydney.
Adrian Pisarski, Executive Officer of National Shelter.
