Episode Description

Our country gets better when good people do good work. Here are three stories of change, from the changemakers themselves. 

To launch Inflection Points, we brought together three great changemakers to give three great case studies in how they changed policy and moved the needle toward a fairer, better, and more prosperous Australia. 

This podcast version of the event features:

  • Michael Brennan on how Australia abolished non-compete clauses
  • Brendan Coates on reforming Australia’s skilled migration system
  • Katie Roberts-Hull on the fight to mandate phonics in Victorian schools

And a panel chaired by Myriam Robin of the Australian Financial Review.
