This week we dive into Australia’s state-based movement for future generations! Mirroring the momentum at the federal level, demand for legislative protections for the wellbeing of future generations is also building in Australia’s states and territories.
In this episode, we speak with Thomas Emerson MLA, an independent member of the ACT‘s Legislative Assembly, and discuss his leadership in advancing reform to make the ACT the first jurisdiction in Australia to have a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act.
As a powerful advocate for community-led politics, Thomas explored what it means to lead with integrity and accountability in a system dominated by party politics.
