Wake Up Australia

18/8/2014

Wake up Australia!  As a nation we’re drifting with no clear vision of where our country will be in 50 years and what we want it to look like.  We’re making bad decisions based on short term gains (e.g.  mining prime farm land for a short-term cash while risking the long-term viability of that land for future food production).  The problem is largely that we’re far to reliant on government to solve our problems and create opportunities.  At best, governments are reactionary.  They are by nature, administrators, not innovators.

In order to make this change the first thing Australia needs to do is adopt a new national identify.  We need to lose the lingering sense of entitlement that being the lucky country once gave us and instead reinvent our selves as the Can Do Country.

A Can Do Culture cuts red tape, ignores bureaucracy, makes decisions, takes risks, drives change, and gets things done!  To solve the great challenges this country faces we must take a new approach, one which is much more pro-active and long term oriented. 

Vision for Australia's mission is to advance bold visions and facilitate big decisions.  Our timeline is oriented to immediate action leading to results that are current 50 years from now.  
What follows are conversations and provocations to that affect.

    Just so you know, this blog is a SUMMARY ONLY of the ideas we stand for.  Vision for Australia (currently) has limited resources to research and write about the many topics it believes are important to the future of Australia.  If you believe a particular subject is of importance to the future of Australia and you’d be interested in making a contribution, we’d welcome hearing from you. We welcome your comments here on our blog and our Facebook Page.  You can email us directly here. 

    Our Impetus:

    This nation lacks a
    clear long term vision for its future.  Politics has become the business of short-term fixes and it’s left many Australians disengaged and disinterested.  Vision for Australia is a forum to more directly influence the long term future of this incredible country.
