There is no 'The Future.' The Future does not exist independently of the choices we make today, individually and as a society. What the future holds depends entirely on us, on those alive today. Its an enormous responsibility, being alive in these times. We can change the world and the need for change has never been greater.
In The Future By Us the best young Australian minds respond to the challenges of our times by presenting their visions for Australia in 2020 and beyond. From creating a sustainable society, forging better relationships with Indigenous Australians, building stronger communities, to reinvigorating democracy, these future leaders address the biggest issues of the twenty-first century.
In clear, well-argued essays they identify the challenges, discuss the potential hazards and suggest practical steps we can take to create an even better Australia. A rallying call to all Australians, this inspiring book is a catalyst for change. The Future By Us is a vision that requires everyone's contribution.
