Dave the Lifekludger for Rudd’s 1000 at Australia 2020 Summit
February 19th, 2008 | by dnw |
UPDATE: Mark Pesce writes an excellent article on how and why the Summit needs to be and extended conversation:
Laurel talks here about Kevin Rudd’s call for an Australia 2020 Summit [video] to gather ideas from 1000 Australians on 10 issues:
• Future directions for the economy, including education, skills, training, science and innovation
• Economic infrastructure, the digital economy and the future of Australia’s cities
• Population, sustainability, climate change, water
• Rural industries and communities
• National health strategy
• Families, communities and social inclusion
• Indigenous Australia
• The future of Australia’s arts, film and design
• Democracy, open government, the role of the media, the structure of federation, citizens’ rights and responsibilities
• Future security and prosperity Source: Prime Minister’s office
Over at bloggerati.com.au there’s a user generated poll going on for including who we, the people of the web, think should be in the 1000.
I’ve been nominated….so go vote if you think I have anything valuable to add. You just never know.

For the rest of the 20,699,000 people not invited to the 2020 Summit, I created a wiki called Oz Ideas (http://ozideas.wetpaint.com) to be our forum to list and vote on the best ideas to improve Australia. It’s free. It can be anonymous, and I’m not doing it to make money. I just think teachers, tradies, and techies probably have just as good ideas for this country than the experts, so the site acts as a national online brainstorming session.
Since the public often needs a bit of entertainment to go with their public engagement, I created a fun video on Youtube of Kevin Rudd break dancing. It’s at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQZa17-Dt_4. See what you think.
Cheers,
