Transformation one and information superhighway
Now is the time to reset what we want for our country. Every country should and must do the same. It is not a time to plan to return from hibernation. That world has gone for ever. We need transition and transformation to what we want our country to be. There should be no sacred cows. It is time for nation building and transitioning to a vision for 2100 and not 2021. Our forebears used times of adversity to change our country. In their time the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Snowy Mountains electric scheme were ridiculed, both changed Australia for the better. The need for information superhighway is no longer visionary it’s a necessity. We need to be looking for fulfilling jobs for a smart workforce many of which can substantially be done from home. Things once again will need to be done in Australia, and other countries, to maintain independence and hence sovereignty. Australia will need to refine oil, service aircraft, have a shipping industry, produce computers but to name a few. We will need to increase our efficiency in mining, agriculture, transport. In all we do we need to maintain our social contract. We have a historic level of collaboration between governments political parties’ unions and companies. Don’t talk : but do it.
