Australia’s celebrated ‘Fair Go’ has disintegrated, with millions of people stuck on the rat wheel of insecure work and housing. We can’t stay where we are, but we don’t know what’s ahead.<\/p>\n Alison Pennington will draw on economics and history to explain the uncertain future of Australia\u2019s young people, and how the compounding economic, political and environmental crises young people face are emblematic of the big challenges of our time.<\/p>\n How do we draw on the knowledge and experience of our inspiring past of people-powered egalitarianism and build the infrastructure of opportunity and hope that heralds a new era for Australia? One that lifts everyone up and leaves no one behind?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_module=”367″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”1em” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][dipi_button_grid flex_direction=”row” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button_grid=”on” button_grid_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_grid_bg_color=”#26AEBB” button_grid_border_color=”#26AEBB” button_grid_custom_padding=”0.25em||0.25em||true|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/speakers\/” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_grid_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_grid_bg_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” button_grid_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” button_grid_border_color__hover_enabled=”off|hover” button_grid_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_grid_text_color__hover=”#26AEBB”][dipi_button_grid_child button_id=”Speakers” button_type=”button” button_text=”Back to Speakers page” button_link=”https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/speakers\/” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#26AEBB” button_border_width=”2px” button_border_color=”#26AEBB” button_use_icon=”off” button_custom_padding=”0.25em||0.25em||true|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_text_color__hover=”#26AEBB” button_icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_icon_color__hover=”#FFFFFF” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”][\/dipi_button_grid_child][\/dipi_button_grid][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19672461,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"2880","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"dipi_cpt_category":[],"class_list":["post-19672459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-invited"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19672459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19672459"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19672459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19673297,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19672459\/revisions\/19673297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19672461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19672459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19672459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19672459"},{"taxonomy":"dipi_cpt_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agileaustralia.com.au\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dipi_cpt_category?post=19672459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How Australia created Gen F’d & why it affects us all<\/h4>\n
