This week I was fortunate to be invited by Sustainable Living Tasmania to speak about National Integrated Planning & Reporting – National IP&R.
The presentation shows how Australians are already pracitising Integrated Planning & Reporting in Tasmania and also in several other states in Australia. And it shows how they can now use it to solve national problems like climate change, unfairness in taxation, the growth of inequality and income insecurity, poverty, and inaccessibility of services essential for wellbeing.
National IP&R offers Australians the processes they need to overcome these problems and escape the inequality that is driving a decline in social cohesion. They can band together to use these processes to defeat neoliberalism and restore their influence in their own democracy.
ACFP is currently working on expanding opportunities for Australians to become involved in planning a better future for the whole nation by using National IP&R. Find out about how to become involved here (https://www.austcfp.com.au/become-involved) and watch for progress updates.

Many thanks to Sustainable Living Tasmania for the opportunity to talk about National IP&R.

Episode 76: The Public Interest Economy by Bronwyn Kelly (Chapter 6, Part 8 & the Epilogue)
Episode 76: Bronwyn Kelly reads Part 8 of Chapter 6 and the Epilogue to her latest book, The Public Interest Economy (https://substack.com/redirect/9800ef12-2e15-4495-83c5-da58cb2cf6a8?j=eyJ1IjoiMmUzM2ZrIn0.5Esb1ppiC_eOIBEpUa84E6vrHpvKz8nGzaEeENIXA0w): the path to wellbeing, security and sustainable consumption in a democratised Australian economy.
Chapter 6 sets out a program of institutional reform that will enable Australians to maximise their chances of building an economy in the public interest. The program has six pillars of reform. This episode covers the final pillar - the Australian Public Interest Collaboration.
Bronwyn also reads the Epilogue to the book which provides insights into the sort of lifestyle Australians can expect to enjoy if they transition to a public interest economy and what they will miss if they don't make the transition.
She also lists what governments will need to do to release Australians from the yoke of neoliberalism before it becomes impossible to create a sustainable future on the Earth. In a nutshell, they need to abandon neoclassical economics because it is false and dangerous. It is propping up neoliberalism and that way disaster lies.

Episode 75: The Public Interest Economy by Bronwyn Kelly (Chapter 6 - Parts 5 to 7)
Episode 75: Bronwyn Kelly reads Parts 5 to 7 of Chapter 6 of her latest book, The Public Interest Economy (https://substack.com/redirect/9800ef12-2e15-4495-83c5-da58cb2cf6a8?j=eyJ1IjoiMmUzM2ZrIn0.5Esb1ppiC_eOIBEpUa84E6vrHpvKz8nGzaEeENIXA0w): the path to wellbeing, security and sustainable consumption in a democratised Australian economy.
Chapter 6 sets out a program of institutional reform that will enable Australians to maximise their chances of building an economy in the public interest. The program has six pillars of reform.
Last week, Bronwyn covered the first two pillars. In this episode she covers Pillars 3, 4 and 5.
Pillars 3 and 4 are vital for ensuring that Australians will be able to trust in their governments in the future and participate as equals in their own democracy to maximise the capacity of their economy to deliver wellbeing fairly for all.
Pillar 5 is essential for the safe transition of Australians to a sustainable economy in the face of coming global crises.
