This is an excerpt from @KTrebeck's keynote at our Economy for Public Good Conference.
In her speech, Dr Trebeck asks questions like what is the purpose of our economy? Is it a goal in its self? Or is it a means to get to our ultimate goals?
Full speech: vimeo

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Contrary to global policymakers’ stated collective intent, petrostates — including Australia, Canada Norway, UK & USA — and big oil have signalled their intention to abandon mitigation commitments and continue to expand production in the coming decades.

There is now clear evidence that a number of crucial system-level tipping points have been reached, in some cases decades to centuries earlier than had been projected. Seven of nine sustainable planetary boundaries have already been exceeded.

The 🏴 and 🏴 governments support the ‘Wellbeing Economy’- which assesses the economy using social and environmental outcomes, not just GDP growth

A small group of people running a handful of global coal, and oil and gas corporates are causing this, and making $trillions. While rest of us pay the costs.

Pretty disappointing that such widespread calls for reform are being dismissed, especially when some sensible tweaks to CGT & negative gearing could be used to incentivise new housing supply.
Govt should release this Treasury modelling for scrutiny.

"We often hear from Aust’s gas export industry, "we have a shortfall, prices going up, not enough supply", it's ridiculous." - @ebony_bennett
"There are so many false narratives that are being thrown at us." - @SDDecleve #auspol #climate

"The way in which the oil and gas sector have been able to continue to extract and privatise it and keep it in their own hands, is really quite ethically immoral." - @SDDecleve #auspol #climate
