Who holds the power in Australia? In this two-episode arc, Dr Susan Carland seeks to answer that question – and understand how we got here. Over the past several decades, Australia's social stratification has become more pronounced. It's partially the result of economic trends such as trickle-down theory and the increasing casualisation of employment in the gig economy, but there are other factors at play here. In this series, host Dr Susan Carland sits down with John Thwaites, chair of the Monash Sustainable Development Institute and ClimateWorks Australia; Bri Lee, author of the book Who Gets to Be Smart?, Rick Morton, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper, and Monash Arts Associate Professor of Communications & Media Studies Dr Tony Moore. Find out how privilege and disparate levels of access to basic resources such as education are contributing to an imbalance of power and influence in the land of the ‘fair go' – threatening the egalitarian ideals Australia's striven to model for the world.

Anna has been the CEO of ClimateWorks Australia for almost 12 years now and she has had a number of Board roles in Australia, from CEFC to Impact Investment Group to the Carbon Market Institute. She has been hugely influential in Australia's decarbonisation debates, and has certainly carried the torch when things were darkest in Australia's long journey towards Net Zero. Hugo and Anna discuss: • The recently released IPCC report and its impact in Australia • Decarbonisation debates in Australia over the last decade and the current status • Solar & solar thermal storage technologies as dominant drivers of decarbonising the power system

For some business owners the environment might be the last thing you’re considering as you navigate operations through the pandemic. With visible improvement in water and air across the globe during COVID-19 it’s an image we can have in the future if we begin to rebuild with climate in mind. The best part is that the solutions are accessible, available and won’t break the bank. Anna Skarbek is CEO of ClimateWorks Australia, a non-profit think-tank and advisory body helping bridge the gap between climate research and action, so not just talking about the numbers and data but working through policy to get the job done. And what’s the goal? Net zero emissions by 2050.
