EPISODE 2

Public Policy and Data for the Common Good

Conversation with Adjunct Professor Anne Tiernan and Dr. Tom Verhelst

Data informed policy and evidence-based decision making are not new concepts or ways of working in Australia.

But noticeably, recent events have accelerated the pace at which all levels of society are embracing or at least accepting digital and often data driven transformations.

But is this what the public want? Are we using data ethically and sustainably? What role does and should data and evidence play in our political processes and policy making?
