Future Proofing Australia is a selection of essays by distinguished thinkers and doers boldly confronting the future and mapping out a path for our country. The contributors understand that ideas matter.

New, fresh ideas are the lifeblood of any successful society. Without these ideas, societies stagnate and then wither—unable to either face or resolve problems confronting them.
