About the event
Unequal income and wealth distribution is dividing Australia.
In 2020, income for younger people is going backward. The wealthy are getting wealthier while the poorest Australians have seen their net wealth fall. And growth per capita is declining fast across many of Australia’s regions.
For many regional communities, the business as usual economic development option is no longer tenable – especially following the catastrophic summer bushfires and the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Now is the time to create fairer and more sustainable regional economies through Community Wealth Building, a people-centred approach to local economic development which aims to place control into the hands of local people and redirect wealth back into local economies.
Join Neil McInroy, Patrick Fensham and event moderator Phoebe Harrison for a live discussion on Community Wealth Building in Australia.
