Gilberto Sacerdoti"Rifacimenti"Molesini Editore Veneziawww.molesinieditore.itUna personale e arbitraria serie di traduzioni, o meglio, rifacimenti di testi inglesi che vanno da Shakespeare a Philip Larkin. Alcuni sono celebri pezzi da antologia, troppo noti per richiedere un commento, ma che ben possono tollerare un ulteriore ri-rifacimento. Come La tigre di William Blake («Tigre Tigre che fiammeggi / dentro i boschi della notte … Il creatore dell'Agnello / è il creatore anche di te?»). O All'amante ritrosa, dove Andrew Marvell sollecita l'amata a concedersi prima della conversione degli Ebrei, o «saranno i vermi, allora, a disserrare / la vostra tanto a lungo preservata / verginità». O Il tordo nelle tenebre di Thomas Hardy che, nella gelida notte dell'ultimo giorno del secolo XIX, sceglie «di scagliare l'anima /contro la tenebra che si infittiva… in un canto vespertino / pieno di una gioia illimitata». Per tacere della Venere shakespeariana che, nel tentativo di sedurre un Adone ancora più ritroso dell'amante di Marvell, così lo invita: «Io sarò il parco e tu sarai il mio cervo; / bruca ove vuoi, in valle o in collina, / mordimi i labbri, e fosse il colle secco, / scendi ove stanno le soavi fonti».Gilberto Sacerdoti (Padova 1952) ha insegnato letteratura inglese a Roma Tre. Ha studiato quella che John Donne chiama «la nuova filosofia che mette tutto in dubbio», le sue tracce in Shakespeare e le sue radici italiane. Oltre ai Poemetti di Shakespeare ha tradotto poesie di Thomas Hardy e Seamus Heaney.Ha scritto tre libri di poesia acclamati dalla critica: Fabbrica minima e minore (Pratiche 1978), Il fuoco, la paglia (Guanda 1988), Vendo vento (Einaudi 2001).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Francesca Sensini"Afrodite viaggia leggera"Sulle rotte dell'amorePonte alle Graziewww.ponteallegrazie.itAfrodite è la dea dell'amore, della bellezza. Lo era nell'antichità e lo è oggi. Da Milo a Parigi, da Cipro a Citera, dalla Mesopotamia ai confini del mondo, prende quello che è suo, senza chiedere il permesso, fin dalla notte dei tempi. Perché lei è il primo amore dell'umanità. Figlia dei signori della luce, è una reazione chimica, il risultato di una mescolanza, una statua di marmo senza braccia, lo sguardo rivolto a ciò che manca. Eppure rappresenta la pienezza: è signora della forza e della gioia, padrona del piacere e del sorriso. Valica limiti e confini, quelli della legge e quelli dell'ordine, quelli della storia e quelli della geografia.Frutto dell'incontro tra lo sperma del cielo e la spuma del mare, nasce ovunque, a ogni approdo, là dove qualcuno sente pungere al fianco l'assillo della vita. Anche lei non ne è immune. Si innamora di Adone e lo contende a Ade, si nasconde tra gli arbusti di mirto, i versi di Saffo, i dardi di Atalanta, in attesa che qualcuno sia degno di lei. Afrodite, marina e dorata, celeste e terrena, viaggia leggera sulle rotte del Mediterraneo. E nei suoi viaggi incontra la guerra, il potere. Scende in battaglia sotto le mura di Troia, si imbarca con gli Argonauti, insieme a Giasone e Medea, e dall'acropoli di Corinto difende l'amore da ogni violenza. Perché solo quello che non conosce costrizioni né ragioni– incantesimo naturale, scambio, trionfo di grazia – germoglia, fiorisce. E vince ogni cosa.Francesca Sensini è nata a Genova nel 1974. Dopo una laurea in Lettere classiche ,è partita per la Francia, dove ha insegnato in varie università e ha continuato i suoi studi, dottorandosi in Italianistica all'Università Paris-Sorbonne. Ha vissuto a Parigi per dieci anni, per altri tre sul lago del Bourget, tra i monti della Savoia, e ora è tornata a vedere il mare, a Nizza, dove è professoressa associata di Italianistica all'Università Côte d'Azur. Comparatista di formazione, tra i suoi amori più grandi vi è quello per il Mediterraneo antico, e per la Grecia in particolare, con i suoi miti.

Running ads for your business can be an effective way to gain exposure and attract potential customers. However, it can be frustrating when you're getting clicks and views on your ads, but those interactions don't convert into leads or sales. In this episode, we'll dive into the 5 reasons this may happen and provide you with strategies to overcome this challenge. Reason #1: Choosing the Right Type of Ad One common mistake is using the wrong type of ad when seeking lead generation. Reason #2: Consistency in Messaging Consistency is key when it comes to running effective ads for your business. Ensure your messaging across all platforms, including your ads, website, and social media content, remains consistent and tailor-made for your target audience. Reason #3: Targeting the Right Audience Precise targeting is essential for generating high-quality leads. With Facebook's algorithm changes, being specific about who you want your ads to reach is important. Don't fall into the trap of casting a wide net and hoping for the best. Reason #4: Optimizing Landing Pages and Funnels Where you send your ad traffic can significantly impact lead generation. While websites can be distracting and may lead to lost opportunities, funnels provide a clear, step-by-step journey for your prospects. Reason #5: Form Optimization Finding the right balance between collecting essential information and avoiding overwhelming your audience is crucial when designing forms. Asking for too much information can deter potential leads from completing the form. Keep it simple. Running ads for your business can be a powerful tool for lead generation. However, getting clicks and views is insufficient to grow your client base. By understanding the importance of choosing the right ad type, maintaining consistent messaging, targeting the right audience, optimizing landing pages and funnels, and refining your form optimization, you can enhance your ad campaigns and turn those clicks into valuable leads.

Klänge aus der Stille. Sie kommen näher, bewegen sich und lösen sich in Dunkelheit auf. Ihre Natur ist das Sein und Nicht-Sein, das Entstehen und Vergehen – gleich aller Lebewesen in der ewigen Illusion von Leben und Tod. Es sind Klänge, wie sie die Menschen umgeben, eine naturnahe Musik. Sie erzählen von mythischen Gestalten: Venus und Mars, die einst Amor zeugten. Amor, der nun den betrogenen Vater rächen soll. Dem schönen Adonis, dem seine Liebe zu Venus zum Verhängnis wird. Und über allem: das Ungeheuer, das keine Zuneigung kennt, keine Liebe, keinen Hass, sich selbst am allerwenigsten. Es wartet, unbekannt und todbringend, malträtiert von den Stimmen der Welt. Eine uralte Geschichte windet sich durch das Dickicht mythologischer Verflechtungen und findet neue Pfade. Wer wird triumphieren, Liebe oder Tod?

Afrodite da sempre ci fa sognare. Esiodo la definì «dorata», in virtù della luminosità che emanava: era scintillante come un gioiello, indossava vesti splendenti. Nata dalla schiuma del mare in seguito a un evento alquanto macabro – Urano evirato, il suo fallo lanciato tra i flutti – la dea del desiderio e della fecondità non dimostra molta costanza né grande senso materno: genera Enea ma poi lo fa allevare da Anchise, si innamora perdutamente di Nerite ma poi lo trasforma in una conchiglia, sposa lo storpio Efesto ma lo tradisce con il bellissimo Ares, fa allevare il proprio figlio Adone da Persefone ma scatena un putiferio quando lei decide di tenerlo con sé agli Inferi… capricciosa e vendicativa, ma irresistibile, le sue storie ci parlano di come il desiderio faccia girare il mondo, ci ricordano l'irrazionalità della passione e la forza dell'amore.

Il successo immenso e inatteso permise al giovane Canova di mettersi presto in proprio, iniziando in tal modo quella carriera rapida e sfolgorante che l'avrebbe reso famoso e ricchissimo.I monumenti funebri ai Papi Clemente XIV e Clemente XIII, l'”Amore e Psiche giacenti”, “Venere e Adone” e la famosissima “Paolina Bonaparte in veste di Venere vincitrice” furono solo alcune delle numerose opere che ne consacrarono la grandezza artistica, tanto che i suoi lavori furono richiest da Caterina II di Russia, dalla Corte di Vienna e da Napoleone

„Lasst uns aufhören, die Leute in Agenturen wie Kinder zu behandeln.“ In der neuesten Folge von #WhatsNextAgencies sind Adone Kheirallah und Göran Göhring, beide Managing Partner der Agentur STAGG & Friends, zu Gast. Mit Kim sprechen Sie über die Höhen und Tiefen ihrer mittlerweile vierten Transformation in 20 Jahren Agenturgeschichte. Die beiden sind diese erneute Wandlung, zusammen mit ihrem Partner @Tim Cremer, sehr bewusst eingegangen und hatten ein klares Bild vor Augen: Eine lebenswerte Deutschland-Agentur ohne Niederlassungen, die nicht nur eine besondere Kultur sondern auch besondere Experiences für ihre Kund*innen bereithält. Ganz konkret geht es um ihren #remotefirst Ansatz, wie sie ihn erfolgreich leben und ihren Weg von Hierarchie zu Kompetenzen, den sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Team im Rahmen eines Open Space Beta-Prozesses gegangen sind. In diesem Setup sind die drei Geschäftsführer keine Vorgesetzten mehr und ja, laut Adone „Muss man das auch mal aushalten, auch wenn's manchmal schwerfällt – erst dann entsteht wirklich Starkes.“ Außerdem sind sie mit Blick auf ihr neues Geschäftsmodell überzeugt: Experiences entwickeln sich zu einer neuen Superpower. Es geht künftig nicht mehr um ein im Elfenbeinturm entwickeltes Event, das auf einen Ort festgelegt ist. Vielmehr liegt das Potenzial darin, die Bedürfnisse der Leute in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen, Begegungskommunikation neu zu denken, weg vom „1-to-all“-Ansatz zu kommen und auch Erlebnisse in Kampagnen zu denken. Dabei spielen sowohl Mehrwerte für jede*n Einzelne*n als auch Gemeinschaftsmomente und die Lust voneinander zu lernen eine wichtige Rolle. Lernen ist überhaupt ein gutes Stichwort, denn Adone und Göran sind sich einig: Lebenslanges Lernen ist ein wichtiger Teil unseres künftigen Mindsets. Und so teilen die beiden am Ende der Folge ihre persönlichen Learnings. Adone formuliert es so „Jeden Tag den Autopiloten ausschalten.“

Tra i più importanti collaboratori di Lucky Luciano va indubbiamente citato l'italo americano Joe Adonis. Giuseppe Antonio Doto è questo il suo vero nome, poi americanizzato, durante gli anni Venti, in Joe Adonis, rifacendosi al “bello” per antonomasia della mitologia greca, ovvero Adone.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/storia-della-mafia-americana--4689841/support.

Abbiamo lasciato nella scorsa puntata la bella ninfa Beroe che fugge all'accerchiamento amoroso di Dioniso. È riuscita a staccarsi temporaneamente da lui ed avventurarsi su strade non battute e deserte.Mentre corre Beroe si accorge che la terra sta tremando: guarda le cime dei monti ma nulla si muove: non ci sono smottamenti, non ci sono crolli. Volge lo sguardo allora verso il mare e vede fermo, ritto in piedi, Poseidone...

Tempo fa ti ho raccontato della vita di Adone, della sua nascita dall'incestuoso legame tra la giovanissima Mirra e suo padre. Adone è così bello che fa innamorare di se Afrodite come pure Persefone.Dalla frequentazione con Afrodite nasce la bella Beroe, protagonista e motore del racconto di oggi.La bimba, destinata alla saggezza, viene partorita sopra ad un testo di leggi, così come le donne spartane partoriscono i figli sopra uno scudo rotondo di cuoio.Alla nascita di Beroe, Afrodite è accudita da Ermes che fa da levatrice e da Temi, che la sorregge nel travaglio.I quattro venti portano sulle terre il suono del suo primo vagito, come a riempire la terra dei precetti di Beroe, così Oceano sparge per il mondo l'acqua della sua nascita e il Tempo riveste la piccola con i panni di Dike, la giustizia e le Ore tutte risuonano in un canto di gioia alla notizia della nascita di questa bimba saggia.Da Ermes e da Temi, da queste due figure tutelari, la bambina sarà dotata di arguzia e di fermezza di carattere, oltre che di un vivo intelletto.Afrodite decide che solo un dio potrà esser degno di avere la mano della sua incantevole creatura.Svelta chiama Eros e lo spedisce di gran carriera verso Poseidone e Dioniso, e gli ordina di scoccare al cuore di entrambi identico amore per Beroe, un amore che li spinga a prenderla in sposa...

Pigmalione, che sembra disprezzare l’amore, ne è in verità assetato.Nel segreto del suo laboratorio nel quale nessuno può entrare, egli comincia - non si sa dietro quale ispirazione - a scolpire nell’avorio una figura di donna, le cui forme perfette nessuna donna ha mai avuto ne’ avrà; oltre a queste armoniche dimensioni, la statua di questa donna viene scolpita con una maestria tale da sembrar essere viva: la definizione nella postura e nei dettagli fanno dubitare di essere di fronte non ad una opera d’arte, quanto invece ad un essere umano...

It's episode 26 of Jo's Art History Podcast! Well, I have an incredibly fascinating episode for you all this week! Today, I sit down with artist and perfumer of the people, Michael Borkowsky to talk about the history of perfume and WHY this is an art form in itself. From magical positions for everlasting youth to bottling the scent of the new modern day woman, Michael takes us on a whistle stop tour on the art of perfume through the ages. Only discovering and falling in love with the art and practise of making perfume few years ago, it has taken Michael on an incredible journey of history and alchemy which has now intertwined into his artistic practise. What is even more interesting though is perfume has always held an important place within different societies throughout the history of the world. This is an incredibly interesting chat with Michael and we also mention his absolutely brilliant series on youtube called ‘Plague for Plague Sake' which you can find a link to in the show notes below! Michael has an incredibly interesting practise so please do check him out below: Guest: Michael Borkowsky Artist & Perfumer of the people!

She used flowers and herbs local to Egypt and combined them with water and solvents which were subsequently filtered. Her perfume making process and use of local materials has informed a facet of my own work, whereby I have made fragrances using Sheffield's river water in order to evoke a sense of place. As an aside, Egypt was also the country that founded the idea of the perfume bottle, which in itself is steeped in history. Short Video on the History of Tapputi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baHU3GL2J-Y Article on the history of Tapputi: https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/10/29/tapputi/ Hungary Water (1370-1470 AD) - One of the first alcohol-based perfumes created in Europe, Hungary Water has somewhat dubious origins but was thought to be created by an alchemist-Monk as a possible means to cure Queen Elizabeth of Hungary's headaches. As such, it's an example of how perfume was used as medicine. This provided me with inspiration to create a video series, entitled 'Plague for Plague's Sake', that sees me recreate some somewhat dubious historical plague cures by utilising the art of perfumery.

Beaux offered Chanel 10 vials of scent, and her favourite was the 5th vial, hence the name Chanel No 5. Chanel also believed she had something of an affinity with the number 5, which may have influenced her decision.

La letteratura che osa. Dal Barocco ai russi: l'Adone di Marino e la Lolita di Nabokov.

Mentre l'incontro con un tipo di oggetti che avevamo promesso da tempo ci porta potenzialmente all'origine stessa dell'universo, la Vergine ci racconta ben più di un mito, a partire dalla giovane Persefone.E se la versione che preferiamo della sua storia non è canonica conta poi molto?Secondo noi no.E comunque se organizzate una celebrazione di Adone invitateci, ok?--- Link utili ---Per offrirci un caffè: https://ko-fi.com/astronomiti Social & More:https://linktr.ee/astronomitiStellarium:https://stellarium-web.org/

La rosa è da molti considerata la “regina dei fiori” come d’altronde la chiamò Saffo: si pensi che quando i greci la introdussero nel Mediterraneo, La Rosa soppiantò il fiore di loto e il giglio, considerati in quel momento addirittura fiori sacri. Le frasi sulle rose ci raccontano appunto dei sentimenti che questo meraviglioso fiore ci provoca. La rosa tra mitologia e storia Appartiene alla famiglia delle Rosaceae, è originaria dell’Asia e dell’Europa e se ne contano almeno 150 specie tra le quali la Gallica, La Canina e la Sempervirens. Letteratura, mitologia e resoconti storici narrano di una passione infinita per questo fiore, al quale da sempre sono attribuiti simbolismi e significati sin dalla notte dei tempi. La più amata è La Rosa rossa, simbolo di amore per eccellenza: è probabile che all’origine di questo ci sia la famosa leggenda greca di Adone che, conteso da Afrodite e Semele, fu attaccato da un cinghiale inviato da Marte. Afrodite lo mise al riparo in un cespuglio di rose bianche che divennero rosse al contatto col sangue di Adone. Proprio le sacerdotesse della dea indossavano ghirlande di rose e mirto e sollevano camminare sui petali di rose. L’amore per le rose in Grecia era espresso anche nella presenza di roseti a Lesbo e Rodi, senza dimenticare gli affreschi e i resti di ceramiche raffiguranti le rose rinvenuti nel sito del Palazzo di Cnosso. Proprio come è avvenuto con gli scavi di Ercolano e Pompei: si immagini infatti che i romani coltivavano veri e propri vivai nel sud-Italia per compiacere imperatori come Nerone ed Eliogabalo. Le Rose nella cristianità e nella letteratura Secondo la tradizione cristiana anche il Giardino dell’Eden aveva le sue rose, ma erano senza spine: il Cantico dei Cantici, scritto con molta probabilità da Salomone, cita la leggendaria Rosa di Saron, simbolo del popolo ebraico, senza quelle spine che compariranno solo con il verificarsi del peccato originale. C’è poi Dante che nel paradiso celebra La Rosa bianca simbolo di un amore divino e spirituale, descrivendo le anime pure sedute su panche a forma di rose. Anche per letterati come Petrarca, Catullo e Ariosto questo splendido fiore di colore bianco era sinonimo di purezza. La Rosa rossa, come precedentemente accennato, è certamente l’emblema di un sentimento assai appassionato ma Torquato Tasso ci vede in lei anche una punta di sofferenza, riconducendo la rosa a un’emozione meno poetica e più umana, fatto di gioie e dolori. Come poi non ricordare William Shakespeare che nel suo Romeo e Giulietta usa La Rosa per descrive un amore eterno a prescindere dal nome che si può dare a questo sentimento.

I nostri eroi sopraggiungono alla seconda tappa della Via degli Dei, da Bologna a Firenze!Oggi V dimensione vi porterà alla scoperta del Monte Adone, delle comuni hippy appenniniche, di tanta tanta pioggia e di Madonna dei Fornelli e la sua strana storia!Questa è solo la seconda di cinque tappe che vi accompagneranno per tutto il mese di aprile, e che si basano sull'avventura vissuta da Piatti e Giannoni nel settembre 2019!

Il primo di cinque speciali, in extra oltre all'appuntamento del lunedì di V DImensione, in cui Michele e Leonardo ripercorrono la loro avventura a piedi da Bologna a Firenze, lungo la Via degli Dei, effettuata nel settembre 2019.In questo primo episodio, si descrive la tappa iniziale da Bologna al monte Adone, fra varianti calcaree, eremi e partigiani.

[...] Fu un sacrilegio che fece adirare assai Afrodite, tanto da far pagare a Cancrèide un caro prezzo. Dopotutto, si sa, non bisogna mai mettersi contro un dio, o peggio ancora, contro una dea, perché le conseguenze sarebbero imprevedibili e terribili. Difatti, Afrodite ordinò una punizione esemplare. Ma non fu Cancrèide a pagare per la sua arroganza, no, Afrodite se la prese con la giovane figlia Smirna, disponendo che la fanciulla infiammasse d’amore, ma non per un uomo qualsiasi, no, ella avrebbe perso la testa per il proprio padre Cinìra: con lui sarebbe dovuta giacere, sperduta in un amore criminale.

No quinto episódio da segunda temporada do Historicidade, o programa de entrevista do Fronteiras no Tempo: um podcast de história, recebemos o historiador Alex Degan (UFSC) para bater um papo sobre História das Religiões, tema de especialidade do convidado. A conversa girou em torno da relevância dos estudos sobre a história das religiões e as diversas maneiras como os pesquisadores a encaram, seus objetivos e desafios. Ficou evidente que o ofício do historiador de encontrar as fontes, lê-las, interpretá-las dentro de um contexto no espaço e tempo são essenciais para que se possa construir narrativas que levem em conta a experiência humana com as religiões que professa.

Adam Kendon’s in-depth analysis of Australian Indigenous sign languages still remains the most broad-reaching to date (Kendon, 1988), even as steps are being taken to build on the foundations he laid (Adone & Maypilama, 2013; Carew & Green, 2015; Green & Wilkins, 2014). Kendon called these sign languages ‘alternate’, as they are not generally the primary mode of communication but rather are used instead of speech in particular cultural circumstances. Kendon’s fieldwork in the late 1970s and the 1980s in Central Australia generated valuable records of sign used in Warlpiri, Kaytetye, Warumungu, Warlmanpa, Jingulu, Mudburra and Anmatyerr speaking communities. The original 16 mm film and VHS video recordings, housed at AIATSIS, comprise more than 50 hours of archival material. The collection includes metadata with various fields, including spoken language, semantic domain, language sign glosses with English translations, and a phonetic transcription in a unique font that Kendon devised especially for the purpose. There is also a time-code that points to locations in the film media. I discuss some of the steps that can be taken to get the most out of this metadata, link it to the media it refers to, and make this unique collection searchable. This is a first step in forming a comparative corpus of Indigenous sign that combines old and new sources. The format and structure of archival deposits and their delivery to users leads to some steps forward…and some backwards. The lessons learnt also have implications for the ways that structure our contemporary archival collections. The presentation will end with some suggestions for further uses of this material and a bid for collaboration. Adone, D., & Maypilama, E. (2013). A Grammar Sketch of Yolŋu Sign Language.

Rhonda Galbally and Bruce Bonyhady were both instrumental in the creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Alan Porritt and Julian Smith (AAP)This is the first program in a new podcast series, Change Agents. It will focus on examples of ordinary people who have brought about profound social, political and cultural change, celebrating their success and explaining how they did it. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the biggest social reform in Australia this century. By 2022 it will help half a million people access comprehensive disability support at a cost of around A$25 billion. On this program, two of the NDIS’ founders explain how they developed something so radical and comprehensive and then won support for the idea. Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman and Rhonda Galbally is a board member of the National Disability Insurance Agency, the body that implements the NDIS. You can read the transcript below. Andrew Dodd: Hello, I’m Andrew Dodd and this is Change Agents, a series about change and the people who make it happen. Today, the birth of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is Australia’s biggest social reform this century. By 2022 it’s estimated half a million people will be using it to access better disability support. By then, it’ll cost around $25 billion a year, funded in part by an increase in the Medicare levy. Today we’ll meet two of its founders: Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman, and Rhonda Galbally is a board member, of the NDIA, the agency that runs the NDIS. They told a forum at Swinburne University that the idea has been around for a long time, as far back as the Whitlam years. Bruce Bonyhady: Whitlam, following the introduction of Medicare, wanted to have a national compensation scheme. A similar scheme was introduced in New Zealand, but covering just people with disabilities who acquired that disability through an accident – so, it was a narrower scheme than what we have now. But the idea that you could take the thinking that applies to workers’ compensation or motor vehicle compensation schemes and apply that to disability more generally dates back to then, and in fact is part of a movement that started in the 1890s when the first compulsory workers’ compensation schemes were developed – in fact in Germany. AD: Am I right in saying it was on the books at the time the Whitlam government was dismissed, and that the Fraser government decided not to carry through with it? BB: Yes, it was due to be debated in parliament on November 11, 1975, and then Fraser decided not to carry on the reform. AD: So obviously then there wasn’t the bipartisanship that characterised what happened with the NDIS later. BB: No, there was no bipartisanship around that, and in fact there was no bipartisanship at that stage around universal health insurance either. AD: I’ve read that it was scuttled in part because the insurers saw that it was against their interests to support something that would undermine their business models. So, they were opposed to it. BB: I don’t know that detail. I think the point about the NDIS, though, is that it provides insurance where there was no insurance before. There is no private insurer who will insure someone who was born with a disability, or acquires a disability through a progressive medical condition, and will insure catastrophic risk. This is a classic case of market failure – there was no insurance available. And it’s a classic issue to which insurance applies – because the whole population is at risk. The consequences of major disability on those directly affected and their families is enormous. And so if we all pay a small amount, then we can insure us all – and it is the most efficient and effective way, as a society, to support people with disabilities. And in fact, if you go back to the work of Kenneth Arrow in the 1960s, who won a Nobel Prize for his work on insurance, he, in his work, where he demonstrated that universal health insurance is the most efficient way for communities to support the risk of adverse health outcomes, he also had a category for what he called “failure to recover” – in other words, permanent disability. So, already in the 1960s the academic work had been done to demonstrate the veracity of this scheme. Rhonda Galbally: But, what was missing then was that the disability rights movement hadn’t started in Australia. And there was no mobilisation or interest. In America, it started – really, for the world – with the Vietnam veterans coming back and just not putting up with being put in institutions. They said “no way” and started the independent living movement. Ours would’ve started just in tiny little seeds towards the end of the 70s. And then in the early 80s they had a small voice, but they were responsible for the deinstitutionalisation movement. But then, by the time it came around for the NDIS, that mobilisation possibility was just as important as the idea – because if the idea had been there, which Bruce designed, without the possibility of the mobilisation then we’d be back to where we were with the Whitlam era. So I think that’s a very important part of the question of: “how come?” AD: One of the people who deserves a lot of credit in bringing about the NDIS is the former deputy prime minister, Brian Howe. It’s said that back in 2005 he went back to the Woodhouse report – this report that had been commissioned by the Whitlam government – pulled it off the shelf, had a look at it, and started thinking about an insurance scheme that could address some of these issues. How fundamental was he to this? BB: He was certainly fundamental to my involvement. In 2005 I was just starting to be interested in disability reform. I was very conscious that there was chronic underfunding; that many people were not getting the support they needed – either not enough support or were missing out entirely. I was on a board with Brian at the time, and I said to him I wanted to talk to him about disability reform. And what he said to me was “you have to stop thinking about disability policy as welfare, and start thinking about it as risk and insurance and investment”. It was one of those lightbulb moments. So, it became a catalyst for me to start to explore how insurance could be applied to people with disability more generally. I very quickly came across the work of John Walsh, who had developed a whole scheme for anyone who was catastrophically injured – not just those who were catastrophically injured in motor-vehicle or workplace accidents. I said to John “could we do this for all of disability?”, and he said “of course, we just need the data”. Both Brian and then John were incredibly important to how we got to where we are today. AD: You were, at that stage, chair of Yooralla. And you came into this sector because of a personal family connection to these issues. BB: Yeah. I’ve got two adult sons, both of whom have cerebral palsy. Prior to them being born – my older son is now in his 30s – I knew nothing about disability, so I became involved on the boards of disability organisations. Initially my focus was on those organisations and their governance. In 2005 I started to think more broadly. The trigger for that was going to an early intervention centre that Yooralla was running near Dandenong and sitting down with the mother of a disabled boy. She said to me: “Why can’t my son get the early intervention services he needs?”. And I went into this long explanation about how we were doing the best we could with the funding we had, and then I went away appalled by the answer. Here I was, with all of my connections and education, and I was defending the status quo. That was really the trigger for me to go and see Brian. I thought it was shocking, so that was how it started. AD: Let’s go forward from 2005 to the election of the Rudd government. The parliamentary secretary for disability services, Bill Shorten, was appointed in 2007. He became very important to what ensued. RG: Well I think Bill was really the important catalyst in a way. And I think he really was very striking from the very first time I met him in that he didn’t characterise disability as a sad tragedy or misery. He characterised it as an outrage, a real abrogation of human rights, and it was sort of like a non-welfare approach to it, and also a waste: he characterised it as wasteful of people’s potential. There was a charitable view of disability. People were very happy to talk at length about raising money for poor disadvantaged people, but nobody was talking about it being an absolute outrage. That was Bill, and behind Bill was Jenny Macklin, who was very seasoned, and he had a view of especially mobilisation. The sector was in complete disarray. And because it had been a charitable sad story, the media was characterised by burden. There were very important programs which probably helped the case but were really fragmenting, because you’d come out of it feeling like cutting your throat as a person with a disability because there you were, you’d ruined everyone’s lives and the families were in tragedy and so people with disabilities organisations didn’t get on at all with carers’ organisations, and both were united – probably quite rightly – in being highly critical of the services that hadn’t changed in about the last 50 years. AD: I think I read something you wrote that said that these sectors were effectively at war with each other. RG: They were at war. And they were at war in every country in the world. I can remember reading a Guardian article by the head of the Disability Rights Commission in the UK, and she said we will not make progress in this country until the carers organisations get together with the people with disabilities organisations and build an alliance. AD: I want to find out more about how you did that and we’ll get to that in a second, but I want to go to the 2020 Summit now, because that also is very important to this. I’ve heard snippets of this story but I want you to tell the full story, Bruce, about how you got this issue on the agenda of the 2020 Summit. I don’t think you were even a delegate, were you? BB: No, I wasn’t a delegate. RG: There’s a club for them, for non-delegates. AD: Are you in that club? BB: I got together with Helen Sykes, who is the chairman of the James Macready Bryan Foundation, and one of my closest long-time friends, John Nairn, who was a director of that foundation. None of us were invited to the 2020 Summit so we got the list of delegates and we wrote to everyone and contacted everyone on that list that we knew. We knew that no-one was going to take our idea to the summit as their top idea, so we knew we were going to be at best their second idea at the summit. So we figured that going into the Summit we were somewhere worse than position 1001, but somehow it emerged as one of the half-dozen big ideas of the summit. And – on reflection – it was undoubtedly the big idea of the 2020 Summit. AD: How many of them put it as their second idea, do you know? BB: I don’t know. Certainly a number of people I know well pushed it. AD: How did you get people to say “OK, I will put your idea down as my second idea” at this big summit? BB: I think it was a compelling case. Everyone knows someone with a disability, or they’ve got a relative with a disability, and they know how broken that old system was. Here was an idea which made reform affordable, and people responded. And I think we had some luck. I think some of these things are: you work hard and you put all your effort in and you get some lucky breaks, so we obviously got some lucky breaks for that to happen. AD: So it emerges as a big idea and – as you say – probably the big idea of the 2020 Summit. And then you were asked by Bill Shorten to look at the feasibility of the scheme and actually shore it all up with the right numbers behind it. BB: Well we’d already started on that process. So a group of us, chaired by Ian Silk, worked for 18 months on this report. When you’re asked to recommend reform to governments you’ve got a choice – you can have a long shopping list of ideas, or you can essentially say “we’ve got one idea”, and that’s what we did. We said: “We’ve got one idea and we think it’s a big idea and we think it requires further examination by government”. AD: And I think this is about the time that Bill Shorten says to you and to the various groups: “come together and start working as a team”, and you led this group that became the alliance. RG: There was internal-to-government and then there was external-to-government, and I facilitated the external-to-government coming together of the three and in fact it was very moving. I think about it now in terms of the maturity of being able to think about what it was like from somebody else’s point of view. I can remember the first time we came together with carers and I was thinking about it from my mother’s point of view – how it had been for her and her life when I was disabled as a tiny baby. It was that expression and then them seeing it from the person’s point of view, instead of just from the family’s point of view, that made it quite a profound connection. Internally to government, because the carers’ networks had been so powerful through the 1990s, there was a view that there should be a separate carers’ council. But because we’d mobilised and come together on the outside, it just didn’t make sense. So that was a persuasion job with Bill and Jenny, because the bureaucrats were pretty convinced that they should be separate. I remember [the bureaucrats] saying “but carers look after old people” and I thought “well you’re not a carer of someone old until they’re disabled, actually, otherwise you’re just a son or a daughter – you don’t play that carer role until they’re disabled too”, so the topic is still disability. So they then agreed to it being set up in joint services and carers, and then Bill insisted on putting business and unions on. I was very opposed and I said “Oh no, it should just be consumers” and he was proven to be right; they were tremendously valuable – they opened it out, they took it back to their networks, to the business council, to the AICD, to all sorts of places that had never heard of these issues, and the ACTU. It was really valuable, that move to broaden that group out. BB: I think the other thing that we need to give Rhonda credit for is the alliance was her brainchild. This alliance outside government – it’s a world-first. This is the first time anywhere in the world that, the sector having split, as part of the disability rights movement, as a sign of its maturity came together to prosecute the case for big reform. You only get big reform when you’ve got unity and a single voice and a single point of advocacy to government and the community. AD: You were saying earlier that some were pushing to include education in the campaign and other aspects of disability reform that were required, and it was about narrowing it down to one achievable – admittedly ambitious – but one achievable goal. RG: Yes, and the trouble also was a matter of us – Bruce and I – thinking that the NDIS should be the focus, but also we decided to only work on something we could agree on. Education is still reasonably controversial in that some of the carers felt special education was good, and the people with disabilities organisations didn’t agree with that, so we put it off the agenda instead of having another war about content. On the NDIS, everyone agreed. BB: The NDIS was and is a unifying idea because it says the support you will receive is based on your need. It’s no longer based on where you acquired your disability, when you acquired your disability, how you acquired your disability, or what your type of disability is: whether you’ve got autism or cerebral palsy or spina bifida. It says need is the determinant, and that the support you receive is commensurate with that need. So, we were able to work through that – because even within that there was still a lot of debate in terms of language and other issues that we had to get right before we could agree that this was the single issue that we were going to pursue above all others. AD: Can I ask you about the mobilisation, because at one stage – in fact you still have these kind of numbers – 150,000 people reachable by email who then have the flow-on effect of contacting others. The alliance didn’t have a lot of money but it had this incredibly powerful tool at its disposal: the people involved. RG: They were very hot, and still are very, very hot contacts … AD: What do you mean by hot? RG: I mean they’ll take action. I mean they’re not just a contact list where half of them are old and you haven’t cleaned it. I mean this is a hot where people have kept up-to-date, where they’re vitally interested. AD: How have you harnessed this resource? RG: It was absolutely instrumental in getting the scheme. Wouldn’t you agree Bruce? BB: Yeah. RG: Very, very important. And it’s watching – it’s a marvellous check and balance, and it’s watching and anything that would not make the scheme happen in the way that everybody thinks that we’ve signed up for, it’s there, and it’s never before been in my experience, in my life, that I‘ve ever seen disability be a really political issue, a hot political issue. It was in America, but that was the Vietnam veterans that did that and they made the American Disability Act that’s a really powerful act. But in Australia it’s never been but now it is, and I think it’s not going to go away – I think it’s just there, and it’s a really important instrument for all of us. AD: Is it true that 120 House of Representatives MPs were visited by people with disabilities and carers in the lead-up to key decisions being made? BB: I don’t know whether it was 120 but it was certainly of that order. People went to see their MPs, they wrote to them just prior to major COAG meetings; thousands of emails were sent to the prime minister and the premiers … RG: Disability teas, do you remember those? BB: Yes. This was a very active group. It’s worth remembering that at about the time the NDIS campaign – the Every Australian Counts campaign – was running, the miners were also running a campaign against a mining tax. They had millions and millions of dollars. What the NDIS campaign had were people. This was an old-fashioned – in many ways an old-fashioned grassroots campaign – mobilised through social media very, very effectively. RG: I was chairing a hospital at the time and hadn’t mentioned it to my hospital – to the board or the staff – that they might have had any interest – I should’ve – but they came to me and said they were having a disability tea. And so they were everywhere, they were in hospitals, in local governments, in NGOs, in businesses – a lot of businesses had disability teas. There were state co-ordinators that were part of the Every Australian Counts campaign – they did a lot of that work. There was Kirstin, there was John, and then there were the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations, and Carers Australia – a very powerful and important organisation. They’d get it out to their members and they’d all have disability teas so it wasn’t just that 150,000 very warm email contacts of citizens of Australia. They weren’t organisational, it was also all the organisations. BB: And then there were all the people who just told their stories, without any sense of self-pity. They just explained what life was like as a person with a disability, or someone caring for a disability – frankly and openly – and those stories resonated with the Australian public, and the statistics also supported those stories. When we found that in the OECD area, Australia ranked last in terms of people with disability living at or below the poverty line, people said: “In the midst of this great mining boom, we’ve got this?”. So, the sense of, not just shame, but that it can’t be allowed to continue, just spread out from people with disabilities to the community as a whole and culminated in that moment when the government put forward the proposition that the Medicare levy should be increased to fund the NDIS, and 85% of the Australian population said: “we’re happy”. Never before has a tax increase been approved overnight. AD: You referred to John Walsh before, and I don’t want to skip over that because this guy deserves enormous credit. This is somebody who worked at Pricewaterhousecoopers; he was an actuary. He had an accident at the age of 20 when he was playing rugby and became a quadriplegic, and focused as a result on this special skill he had as a number-cruncher and you guys used him throughout the process to shore up the numbers to convince the politicians and the departments that this thing was achievable. BB: This scheme would not have been achieved without John. RG: I agree. BB: His analytical capability, his enormous intellect to apply the actuarial principles to disability as a whole, to get the data, to do the analysis. He was a member of the disability investment group, he was then the other commissioner with Patricia Scott on the Productivity Commission, he’s now on the board of the NDIA and chairs our sustainability committee. His contribution is giant. He worked not just in Australia but in New Zealand so he understood the accident compensation scheme there, he’d worked on most of Australia’s workers compensation and transport accident schemes. His significance is enormous. AD: He came with you both, I understand, to dinner at The Lodge, with Jenny Macklin and Bill Shorten. Have I got that right? How did that dinner go and what happened? BB: We were at a point where this scheme needed true bipartisanship at the tops of all parties … AD: I should say when this happened Julia Gillard was the prime minister … BB: She was the prime minister. The Productivity Commission report had been presented and a number of us got the opportunity to have dinner with her and put the case for why the NDIS should be a priority for her government. Because, at the end of the day, big reforms need prime ministerial approval. AD: Did she need much convincing? BB: I don’t think so. I think she got it. But I think it was very important in the sense of hearing from people who had been deeply involved with the development of the idea. The dinner was not conclusive; we didn’t know what the outcome was. We really put our case. It was actually quite short; the business part of it probably only took about 45 minutes for the key points to be made, and then it went to more general chit-chat. But all of the key points were made. We then waited. Soon thereafter she said: “we’re going to get this thing done”. RG: It was a very quick response after the commissioner’s report. It was about the quickest ever. BB: Yeah, but it was that moment where she said “we’re going to get it done”. And from that point on, the machinery of the Commonwealth government swung fully into action behind the scheme. AD: What does that look like, when it all swings behind you and everyone’s onside and wanting to make it happen quickly? BB: It gets momentum. AD: That word momentum keeps cropping up from this point on … BB: Well I think when you have the prime minister’s department, the Treasury, the Finance Department, the Department of Family and Housing and Community Services, all behind an idea, and they’re the key departments, then it happens. AD: The Medicare levy increased from 1.5 to 2%. How did you manage that? BB: Craig Wallace was very significant in that. He’s the chairman of People With Disability Australia, and so he has always been very influential in disability circles and he wrote an opinion piece on it, and I think that was at a time when the government was thinking through how were they going to fund it. So I think that was certainly influential. I think it’s important to remember that what the Productivity Commission said was that this scheme should be funded out of general revenue, and part of the reason they argued that was because they said this is one of the first things that government should do, it’s like defence. If taxes aren’t going to go up then there are other things at the margin that government should cease doing in order to ensure that this scheme is funded. Their view was this was core government business. RG: I’m just trying to think, though, who did come up with the Medicare levy? I think it is a really interesting question. It might have come out of Jenny Macklin’s office … AD: Well, I remember reading that Jenny Macklin at one stage went to the Expenditure Review Committee [ERC] and, I don’t know how she got away with this, but just coolly asked for A$14 billion over five years to make this happen. She said afterwards it was the biggest thing she ever asked for from the ERC – as you’d kind of hope that that would be the biggest thing she ever asked for – but this is a massive amount of money. RG: But she had a very good case. You make it sound quite casual, whereas she’s a very carefully prepared. She’s a top policy person herself, so she would have had all the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed. AD: So it gathers this momentum, and I remember the announcement that it would be tied to Medicare and there was a little bit of opposition, there was some discussion about it. But what characterised it was how little opposition there was and how quickly the actual opposition, then the Coalition, fell in behind it. BB: I think it’s not fair to say “at that point the opposition fell in behind it”. I think that the opposition, particularly Tony Abbott and senator Mitch Fifield, understood this scheme and its significance from very, very early on, so the bipartisanship began much earlier. And I think what they grasped was that it was not just a social policy reform, but it was an economic reform, and it was about equity, and about opportunity. And this is about equality of opportunity for people with disabilities, and it was about equity for them and their families. And so there was a basis for that emerging bipartisanship. And one of the things that we knew already at the time of the disability investment group was that this reform was probably going to take seven years in terms of introducing it, that it was going to be a long period of time, therefore it was going to go across multiple governments and so had to win the support of all parties and all governments, both federal and state. AD: Rhonda, when did you know that you’d won the support of Tony Abbott? RD: There was a systematic program of approaching and talking, and I met with Mitch Fifield quite often and he had supported it – he’d been very clear. But I bumped into Tony Abbott in the street in Sydney, and I said to him: “Mr Abbott, I’m hearing you’re supporting the NDIS and I’m so pleased”. And he said: “Well normally I’m Mr No, but on this occasion I’m Mr Yes”. And so I had a Press Club appearance about two weeks later and I quoted it. He then picked it up and quoted it everywhere. So it became his phrase! I’ve met millions of politicians over a long, long life – because I’m quite elderly by now – and a lot you don’t get past the goalposts because there isn’t that groundswell. Medicare had a groundswell, which was pretty good for its day when you think about it; this was about 50 times bigger than the Medicare groundswell. And I don’t think a politician in Australia could deny it.

Rhonda Galbally and Bruce Bonyhady were both instrumental in the creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Alan Porritt and Julian Smith (AAP)This is the first program in a new podcast series, Change Agents. It will focus on examples of ordinary people who have brought about profound social, political and cultural change, celebrating their success and explaining how they did it. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the biggest social reform in Australia this century. By 2022 it will help half a million people access comprehensive disability support at a cost of around A$25 billion. On this program, two of the NDIS’ founders explain how they developed something so radical and comprehensive and then won support for the idea. Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman and Rhonda Galbally is a board member of the National Disability Insurance Agency, the body that implements the NDIS. You can read the transcript below. Andrew Dodd: Hello, I’m Andrew Dodd and this is Change Agents, a series about change and the people who make it happen. Today, the birth of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is Australia’s biggest social reform this century. By 2022 it’s estimated half a million people will be using it to access better disability support. By then, it’ll cost around $25 billion a year, funded in part by an increase in the Medicare levy. Today we’ll meet two of its founders: Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman, and Rhonda Galbally is a board member, of the NDIA, the agency that runs the NDIS. They told a forum at Swinburne University that the idea has been around for a long time, as far back as the Whitlam years. Bruce Bonyhady: Whitlam, following the introduction of Medicare, wanted to have a national compensation scheme. A similar scheme was introduced in New Zealand, but covering just people with disabilities who acquired that disability through an accident – so, it was a narrower scheme than what we have now. But the idea that you could take the thinking that applies to workers’ compensation or motor vehicle compensation schemes and apply that to disability more generally dates back to then, and in fact is part of a movement that started in the 1890s when the first compulsory workers’ compensation schemes were developed – in fact in Germany. AD: Am I right in saying it was on the books at the time the Whitlam government was dismissed, and that the Fraser government decided not to carry through with it? BB: Yes, it was due to be debated in parliament on November 11, 1975, and then Fraser decided not to carry on the reform. AD: So obviously then there wasn’t the bipartisanship that characterised what happened with the NDIS later. BB: No, there was no bipartisanship around that, and in fact there was no bipartisanship at that stage around universal health insurance either. AD: I’ve read that it was scuttled in part because the insurers saw that it was against their interests to support something that would undermine their business models. So, they were opposed to it. BB: I don’t know that detail. I think the point about the NDIS, though, is that it provides insurance where there was no insurance before. There is no private insurer who will insure someone who was born with a disability, or acquires a disability through a progressive medical condition, and will insure catastrophic risk. This is a classic case of market failure – there was no insurance available. And it’s a classic issue to which insurance applies – because the whole population is at risk. The consequences of major disability on those directly affected and their families is enormous. And so if we all pay a small amount, then we can insure us all – and it is the most efficient and effective way, as a society, to support people with disabilities. And in fact, if you go back to the work of Kenneth Arrow in the 1960s, who won a Nobel Prize for his work on insurance, he, in his work, where he demonstrated that universal health insurance is the most efficient way for communities to support the risk of adverse health outcomes, he also had a category for what he called “failure to recover” – in other words, permanent disability. So, already in the 1960s the academic work had been done to demonstrate the veracity of this scheme. Rhonda Galbally: But, what was missing then was that the disability rights movement hadn’t started in Australia. And there was no mobilisation or interest. In America, it started – really, for the world – with the Vietnam veterans coming back and just not putting up with being put in institutions. They said “no way” and started the independent living movement. Ours would’ve started just in tiny little seeds towards the end of the 70s. And then in the early 80s they had a small voice, but they were responsible for the deinstitutionalisation movement. But then, by the time it came around for the NDIS, that mobilisation possibility was just as important as the idea – because if the idea had been there, which Bruce designed, without the possibility of the mobilisation then we’d be back to where we were with the Whitlam era. So I think that’s a very important part of the question of: “how come?” AD: One of the people who deserves a lot of credit in bringing about the NDIS is the former deputy prime minister, Brian Howe. It’s said that back in 2005 he went back to the Woodhouse report – this report that had been commissioned by the Whitlam government – pulled it off the shelf, had a look at it, and started thinking about an insurance scheme that could address some of these issues. How fundamental was he to this? BB: He was certainly fundamental to my involvement. In 2005 I was just starting to be interested in disability reform. I was very conscious that there was chronic underfunding; that many people were not getting the support they needed – either not enough support or were missing out entirely. I was on a board with Brian at the time, and I said to him I wanted to talk to him about disability reform. And what he said to me was “you have to stop thinking about disability policy as welfare, and start thinking about it as risk and insurance and investment”. It was one of those lightbulb moments. So, it became a catalyst for me to start to explore how insurance could be applied to people with disability more generally. I very quickly came across the work of John Walsh, who had developed a whole scheme for anyone who was catastrophically injured – not just those who were catastrophically injured in motor-vehicle or workplace accidents. I said to John “could we do this for all of disability?”, and he said “of course, we just need the data”. Both Brian and then John were incredibly important to how we got to where we are today. AD: You were, at that stage, chair of Yooralla. And you came into this sector because of a personal family connection to these issues. BB: Yeah. I’ve got two adult sons, both of whom have cerebral palsy. Prior to them being born – my older son is now in his 30s – I knew nothing about disability, so I became involved on the boards of disability organisations. Initially my focus was on those organisations and their governance. In 2005 I started to think more broadly. The trigger for that was going to an early intervention centre that Yooralla was running near Dandenong and sitting down with the mother of a disabled boy. She said to me: “Why can’t my son get the early intervention services he needs?”. And I went into this long explanation about how we were doing the best we could with the funding we had, and then I went away appalled by the answer. Here I was, with all of my connections and education, and I was defending the status quo. That was really the trigger for me to go and see Brian. I thought it was shocking, so that was how it started. AD: Let’s go forward from 2005 to the election of the Rudd government. The parliamentary secretary for disability services, Bill Shorten, was appointed in 2007. He became very important to what ensued. RG: Well I think Bill was really the important catalyst in a way. And I think he really was very striking from the very first time I met him in that he didn’t characterise disability as a sad tragedy or misery. He characterised it as an outrage, a real abrogation of human rights, and it was sort of like a non-welfare approach to it, and also a waste: he characterised it as wasteful of people’s potential. There was a charitable view of disability. People were very happy to talk at length about raising money for poor disadvantaged people, but nobody was talking about it being an absolute outrage. That was Bill, and behind Bill was Jenny Macklin, who was very seasoned, and he had a view of especially mobilisation. The sector was in complete disarray. And because it had been a charitable sad story, the media was characterised by burden. There were very important programs which probably helped the case but were really fragmenting, because you’d come out of it feeling like cutting your throat as a person with a disability because there you were, you’d ruined everyone’s lives and the families were in tragedy and so people with disabilities organisations didn’t get on at all with carers’ organisations, and both were united – probably quite rightly – in being highly critical of the services that hadn’t changed in about the last 50 years. AD: I think I read something you wrote that said that these sectors were effectively at war with each other. RG: They were at war. And they were at war in every country in the world. I can remember reading a Guardian article by the head of the Disability Rights Commission in the UK, and she said we will not make progress in this country until the carers organisations get together with the people with disabilities organisations and build an alliance. AD: I want to find out more about how you did that and we’ll get to that in a second, but I want to go to the 2020 Summit now, because that also is very important to this. I’ve heard snippets of this story but I want you to tell the full story, Bruce, about how you got this issue on the agenda of the 2020 Summit. I don’t think you were even a delegate, were you? BB: No, I wasn’t a delegate. RG: There’s a club for them, for non-delegates. AD: Are you in that club? BB: I got together with Helen Sykes, who is the chairman of the James Macready Bryan Foundation, and one of my closest long-time friends, John Nairn, who was a director of that foundation. None of us were invited to the 2020 Summit so we got the list of delegates and we wrote to everyone and contacted everyone on that list that we knew. We knew that no-one was going to take our idea to the summit as their top idea, so we knew we were going to be at best their second idea at the summit. So we figured that going into the Summit we were somewhere worse than position 1001, but somehow it emerged as one of the half-dozen big ideas of the summit. And – on reflection – it was undoubtedly the big idea of the 2020 Summit. AD: How many of them put it as their second idea, do you know? BB: I don’t know. Certainly a number of people I know well pushed it. AD: How did you get people to say “OK, I will put your idea down as my second idea” at this big summit? BB: I think it was a compelling case. Everyone knows someone with a disability, or they’ve got a relative with a disability, and they know how broken that old system was. Here was an idea which made reform affordable, and people responded. And I think we had some luck. I think some of these things are: you work hard and you put all your effort in and you get some lucky breaks, so we obviously got some lucky breaks for that to happen. AD: So it emerges as a big idea and – as you say – probably the big idea of the 2020 Summit. And then you were asked by Bill Shorten to look at the feasibility of the scheme and actually shore it all up with the right numbers behind it. BB: Well we’d already started on that process. So a group of us, chaired by Ian Silk, worked for 18 months on this report. When you’re asked to recommend reform to governments you’ve got a choice – you can have a long shopping list of ideas, or you can essentially say “we’ve got one idea”, and that’s what we did. We said: “We’ve got one idea and we think it’s a big idea and we think it requires further examination by government”. AD: And I think this is about the time that Bill Shorten says to you and to the various groups: “come together and start working as a team”, and you led this group that became the alliance. RG: There was internal-to-government and then there was external-to-government, and I facilitated the external-to-government coming together of the three and in fact it was very moving. I think about it now in terms of the maturity of being able to think about what it was like from somebody else’s point of view. I can remember the first time we came together with carers and I was thinking about it from my mother’s point of view – how it had been for her and her life when I was disabled as a tiny baby. It was that expression and then them seeing it from the person’s point of view, instead of just from the family’s point of view, that made it quite a profound connection. Internally to government, because the carers’ networks had been so powerful through the 1990s, there was a view that there should be a separate carers’ council. But because we’d mobilised and come together on the outside, it just didn’t make sense. So that was a persuasion job with Bill and Jenny, because the bureaucrats were pretty convinced that they should be separate. I remember [the bureaucrats] saying “but carers look after old people” and I thought “well you’re not a carer of someone old until they’re disabled, actually, otherwise you’re just a son or a daughter – you don’t play that carer role until they’re disabled too”, so the topic is still disability. So they then agreed to it being set up in joint services and carers, and then Bill insisted on putting business and unions on. I was very opposed and I said “Oh no, it should just be consumers” and he was proven to be right; they were tremendously valuable – they opened it out, they took it back to their networks, to the business council, to the AICD, to all sorts of places that had never heard of these issues, and the ACTU. It was really valuable, that move to broaden that group out. BB: I think the other thing that we need to give Rhonda credit for is the alliance was her brainchild. This alliance outside government – it’s a world-first. This is the first time anywhere in the world that, the sector having split, as part of the disability rights movement, as a sign of its maturity came together to prosecute the case for big reform. You only get big reform when you’ve got unity and a single voice and a single point of advocacy to government and the community. AD: You were saying earlier that some were pushing to include education in the campaign and other aspects of disability reform that were required, and it was about narrowing it down to one achievable – admittedly ambitious – but one achievable goal. RG: Yes, and the trouble also was a matter of us – Bruce and I – thinking that the NDIS should be the focus, but also we decided to only work on something we could agree on. Education is still reasonably controversial in that some of the carers felt special education was good, and the people with disabilities organisations didn’t agree with that, so we put it off the agenda instead of having another war about content. On the NDIS, everyone agreed. BB: The NDIS was and is a unifying idea because it says the support you will receive is based on your need. It’s no longer based on where you acquired your disability, when you acquired your disability, how you acquired your disability, or what your type of disability is: whether you’ve got autism or cerebral palsy or spina bifida. It says need is the determinant, and that the support you receive is commensurate with that need. So, we were able to work through that – because even within that there was still a lot of debate in terms of language and other issues that we had to get right before we could agree that this was the single issue that we were going to pursue above all others. AD: Can I ask you about the mobilisation, because at one stage – in fact you still have these kind of numbers – 150,000 people reachable by email who then have the flow-on effect of contacting others. The alliance didn’t have a lot of money but it had this incredibly powerful tool at its disposal: the people involved. RG: They were very hot, and still are very, very hot contacts … AD: What do you mean by hot? RG: I mean they’ll take action. I mean they’re not just a contact list where half of them are old and you haven’t cleaned it. I mean this is a hot where people have kept up-to-date, where they’re vitally interested. AD: How have you harnessed this resource? RG: It was absolutely instrumental in getting the scheme. Wouldn’t you agree Bruce? BB: Yeah. RG: Very, very important. And it’s watching – it’s a marvellous check and balance, and it’s watching and anything that would not make the scheme happen in the way that everybody thinks that we’ve signed up for, it’s there, and it’s never before been in my experience, in my life, that I‘ve ever seen disability be a really political issue, a hot political issue. It was in America, but that was the Vietnam veterans that did that and they made the American Disability Act that’s a really powerful act. But in Australia it’s never been but now it is, and I think it’s not going to go away – I think it’s just there, and it’s a really important instrument for all of us. AD: Is it true that 120 House of Representatives MPs were visited by people with disabilities and carers in the lead-up to key decisions being made? BB: I don’t know whether it was 120 but it was certainly of that order. People went to see their MPs, they wrote to them just prior to major COAG meetings; thousands of emails were sent to the prime minister and the premiers … RG: Disability teas, do you remember those? BB: Yes. This was a very active group. It’s worth remembering that at about the time the NDIS campaign – the Every Australian Counts campaign – was running, the miners were also running a campaign against a mining tax. They had millions and millions of dollars. What the NDIS campaign had were people. This was an old-fashioned – in many ways an old-fashioned grassroots campaign – mobilised through social media very, very effectively. RG: I was chairing a hospital at the time and hadn’t mentioned it to my hospital – to the board or the staff – that they might have had any interest – I should’ve – but they came to me and said they were having a disability tea. And so they were everywhere, they were in hospitals, in local governments, in NGOs, in businesses – a lot of businesses had disability teas. There were state co-ordinators that were part of the Every Australian Counts campaign – they did a lot of that work. There was Kirstin, there was John, and then there were the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations, and Carers Australia – a very powerful and important organisation. They’d get it out to their members and they’d all have disability teas so it wasn’t just that 150,000 very warm email contacts of citizens of Australia. They weren’t organisational, it was also all the organisations. BB: And then there were all the people who just told their stories, without any sense of self-pity. They just explained what life was like as a person with a disability, or someone caring for a disability – frankly and openly – and those stories resonated with the Australian public, and the statistics also supported those stories. When we found that in the OECD area, Australia ranked last in terms of people with disability living at or below the poverty line, people said: “In the midst of this great mining boom, we’ve got this?”. So, the sense of, not just shame, but that it can’t be allowed to continue, just spread out from people with disabilities to the community as a whole and culminated in that moment when the government put forward the proposition that the Medicare levy should be increased to fund the NDIS, and 85% of the Australian population said: “we’re happy”. Never before has a tax increase been approved overnight. AD: You referred to John Walsh before, and I don’t want to skip over that because this guy deserves enormous credit. This is somebody who worked at Pricewaterhousecoopers; he was an actuary. He had an accident at the age of 20 when he was playing rugby and became a quadriplegic, and focused as a result on this special skill he had as a number-cruncher and you guys used him throughout the process to shore up the numbers to convince the politicians and the departments that this thing was achievable. BB: This scheme would not have been achieved without John. RG: I agree. BB: His analytical capability, his enormous intellect to apply the actuarial principles to disability as a whole, to get the data, to do the analysis. He was a member of the disability investment group, he was then the other commissioner with Patricia Scott on the Productivity Commission, he’s now on the board of the NDIA and chairs our sustainability committee. His contribution is giant. He worked not just in Australia but in New Zealand so he understood the accident compensation scheme there, he’d worked on most of Australia’s workers compensation and transport accident schemes. His significance is enormous. AD: He came with you both, I understand, to dinner at The Lodge, with Jenny Macklin and Bill Shorten. Have I got that right? How did that dinner go and what happened? BB: We were at a point where this scheme needed true bipartisanship at the tops of all parties … AD: I should say when this happened Julia Gillard was the prime minister … BB: She was the prime minister. The Productivity Commission report had been presented and a number of us got the opportunity to have dinner with her and put the case for why the NDIS should be a priority for her government. Because, at the end of the day, big reforms need prime ministerial approval. AD: Did she need much convincing? BB: I don’t think so. I think she got it. But I think it was very important in the sense of hearing from people who had been deeply involved with the development of the idea. The dinner was not conclusive; we didn’t know what the outcome was. We really put our case. It was actually quite short; the business part of it probably only took about 45 minutes for the key points to be made, and then it went to more general chit-chat. But all of the key points were made. We then waited. Soon thereafter she said: “we’re going to get this thing done”. RG: It was a very quick response after the commissioner’s report. It was about the quickest ever. BB: Yeah, but it was that moment where she said “we’re going to get it done”. And from that point on, the machinery of the Commonwealth government swung fully into action behind the scheme. AD: What does that look like, when it all swings behind you and everyone’s onside and wanting to make it happen quickly? BB: It gets momentum. AD: That word momentum keeps cropping up from this point on … BB: Well I think when you have the prime minister’s department, the Treasury, the Finance Department, the Department of Family and Housing and Community Services, all behind an idea, and they’re the key departments, then it happens. AD: The Medicare levy increased from 1.5 to 2%. How did you manage that? BB: Craig Wallace was very significant in that. He’s the chairman of People With Disability Australia, and so he has always been very influential in disability circles and he wrote an opinion piece on it, and I think that was at a time when the government was thinking through how were they going to fund it. So I think that was certainly influential. I think it’s important to remember that what the Productivity Commission said was that this scheme should be funded out of general revenue, and part of the reason they argued that was because they said this is one of the first things that government should do, it’s like defence. If taxes aren’t going to go up then there are other things at the margin that government should cease doing in order to ensure that this scheme is funded. Their view was this was core government business. RG: I’m just trying to think, though, who did come up with the Medicare levy? I think it is a really interesting question. It might have come out of Jenny Macklin’s office … AD: Well, I remember reading that Jenny Macklin at one stage went to the Expenditure Review Committee [ERC] and, I don’t know how she got away with this, but just coolly asked for A$14 billion over five years to make this happen. She said afterwards it was the biggest thing she ever asked for from the ERC – as you’d kind of hope that that would be the biggest thing she ever asked for – but this is a massive amount of money. RG: But she had a very good case. You make it sound quite casual, whereas she’s a very carefully prepared. She’s a top policy person herself, so she would have had all the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed. AD: So it gathers this momentum, and I remember the announcement that it would be tied to Medicare and there was a little bit of opposition, there was some discussion about it. But what characterised it was how little opposition there was and how quickly the actual opposition, then the Coalition, fell in behind it. BB: I think it’s not fair to say “at that point the opposition fell in behind it”. I think that the opposition, particularly Tony Abbott and senator Mitch Fifield, understood this scheme and its significance from very, very early on, so the bipartisanship began much earlier. And I think what they grasped was that it was not just a social policy reform, but it was an economic reform, and it was about equity, and about opportunity. And this is about equality of opportunity for people with disabilities, and it was about equity for them and their families. And so there was a basis for that emerging bipartisanship. And one of the things that we knew already at the time of the disability investment group was that this reform was probably going to take seven years in terms of introducing it, that it was going to be a long period of time, therefore it was going to go across multiple governments and so had to win the support of all parties and all governments, both federal and state. AD: Rhonda, when did you know that you’d won the support of Tony Abbott? RD: There was a systematic program of approaching and talking, and I met with Mitch Fifield quite often and he had supported it – he’d been very clear. But I bumped into Tony Abbott in the street in Sydney, and I said to him: “Mr Abbott, I’m hearing you’re supporting the NDIS and I’m so pleased”. And he said: “Well normally I’m Mr No, but on this occasion I’m Mr Yes”. And so I had a Press Club appearance about two weeks later and I quoted it. He then picked it up and quoted it everywhere. So it became his phrase! I’ve met millions of politicians over a long, long life – because I’m quite elderly by now – and a lot you don’t get past the goalposts because there isn’t that groundswell. Medicare had a groundswell, which was pretty good for its day when you think about it; this was about 50 times bigger than the Medicare groundswell. And I don’t think a politician in Australia could deny it. AD: Rhonda Galbally, a board member of the National Disability Insurance Agency, and before her, Bruce Bonyhady, the chairman of that same organisation.
