Introduction from Bronwyn Kelly, Founder of Australian Community Futures Planning:
In this series of the Australia Together Podcast we’re interviewing a range of people about the issues we can resolve by developing a long term integrated plan for a better future for Australia. We’re looking into a draft of such a plan - Australia Together - and canvassing views about strategies that are or should be included in it.
Last week I published an article summarising the key strategies currently in Australia Together for achieving fairness in Australia including a National Accord on Wealth, Welfare and Wellbeing and a Universal Basic Income.

In today’s episode I interview Dr John Tons from Flinders University’s Philosophy Department. Dr Tons is an expert on social justice and a passionate supporter of policies aimed at achieving fairness in society such as a Universal Basic Income. We talk here about one of the world’s most important philosophers on the topic of social justice - John Rawls - and about how strategies in Australia Together can be designed to help Australians implement a socially just future where there is fairness for all.
