Send me a messageOn the topic of climate change and an increasingly volatile and unprecedented future, the way we think about and structure finance has a key role to play and I have two very special guests - Emeritus Professor Bruce Chapman and Chris Andrew. Starting with Chris, well, I don't know if I can do justice in describing this extraordinary man. I first met Chris nearly a year ago and I instantly connected to his vision of restorative justice for the role banks have played in financing colonisation in Australia and the massacres, dispossession and marginalisation that First Nations people in this country faced, and the work he was doing on Indigenous designed finance. Chris is a remarkable person. A capital markets guy who recently described himself at his Sydney Ted talk as a reformed banker, has led a truly interesting life. A merchant banker of the 80s, 90s and 2000s, before a series of events from the 911 attacks and a New York resident at the time to a hike on Mt Kosciuszko to now years of being invited into First Nations and Pacifica communities, Chris combines his deep financial knowledge to that of sophisticated First Nations land management and cultural practices in a way that could and probably should play a significant impact in how Australia thinks about Country, agriculture and finance moving forward.Bruce Chapman is one of Australia's most esteemed economists. His work across externalities, risk management frames for equitable outcomes and contingent lending is immense, and his legacy is recognised by his Emeritus Professor title - the highest honour someone can receive in the academic world here in Australia. Bruce is not just an academic though - his work in the late 1980s in pioneering HECS - Higher Education Contribution Scheme - created a path for hundreds of thousands of Australians to access the benefits of tertiary education when prior to that it was far more likely they wouldn't because of their socioeconomic status. Bruce's work revolutionised higher education in Australia - which has been tampered with and watered down by several conservative governments since the 1990s. We get into The elegance of contingent lending in this episode, so I won't describe it here.Together these two men represent a powerful allyship to First Nations Australians - but beyond shallow words and often fruitless reconciliation action plans their work has an incredible potential to transform the lives of First Nation Australians and also re-frame how finance in this country is designed and distributed to deal with an increasingly volatile climate system.Bruce and Chris' work is essential in the pursuit of reconciliation here in Australia and self determination for First Nations people to become a reality. The theme of the October newsletter is help, and this quote reflects the work of Chris and Bruce, and something every non First Nations person in Australia ideally would deeply understand and be working towards just like they are; “allyship is not just about intent. It requires proactive action.”Until next time, thanks for listening.Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

Small business is just one of the victims of COVID-19. What if there is a way to hold off debt repayment until there is money in the bank to pay it? Bruce Chapman, professor at the ANU College of Business and Economics, says we can learn a lot from the HECS loan system he helped to implement in the 1980s. He believes that deferring loan repayments could be the key to economic recovery, especially for small business.

Americans love to trash their politicians as corrupt and self-interested, but they don’t agree on a solution. How can America attract good leaders to the thousands of elective offices in the land? In Politicians: The Worst Kind of People to Run the Government, Except for All the Others, Bruce Chapman lays out a bold plan for the changes we need to make in our public life if we are serious about enable worthy leaders to emerge to and to succeed. Drawing on history as well as his own extensive experience in politics and public policy, Chapman challenges the conventional wisdom about politicians, arguing that their chief rivals – the media, bureaucrats, college professors, and even political “reform” groups – are often sources of further political demoralization rather than renewal.Bruce K. Chapman worked on national and local campaigns throughout his life, started a magazine (Advance: A Journal of Political Thought), was an editorial writer for The New York Herald-Tribune, co-authored (with George Gilder)The Party That Lost its Head, and wrote The Wrong Man in Uniform, an early argument for an all-volunteer military. He served on the Seattle City Council in the 1970s, was elected Secretary of State of Washington twice, was chosen Director of the U.S. Census Bureau under President Reagan, and then served as a Deputy Assistant to the President in the White House. In the late 1980s he served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Organizations in Vienna. In 1991, he founded Discovery Institute, a public policy think tank that supports research on science, culture, economics, technology, transportation, national defense, and civic leadership.

The Australian Higher Education Scheme (HECS) was a landmark piece of public policy. It offers students the chance to undertake higher education and repay the cost only once they reach an earnings threshold. But HECS - these days called the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) - has become an election issue following the release of a recent report showing sharp increases in HECS costs over the next decade. In this Policy Forum Pod, Professor Bruce Chapman - the architect of Australia's HECS program, and Associate Professor Tim Higgins of the ANU College of Business and Economics, discuss HECS and answer the question of whether it needs help.
