What's In It For You?

Welcome to the first episode of What's In It For You! We are diving straight in...

This episode, we break down the concept of short-termism and unpack how it's driving crises like cost of living, climate change and housing unaffordability.

And for some spice, because who doesn't love a sports saga, we also discuss the recent NBA Luka Dončić trade controversy, demonstrating that short-termism isn't just a policy problem, but a deeply ingrained societal one too.

Our guest for this episode is our Managing Director, Taylor Dee Hawkins, who brings us insights direct from her week up Canberra where the For Our Future campaign has officially launched, aiming to tackle the very behaviour that is producing all these disasters we face: political short-termism.
