PGAP recently had the pleasure of travelling to Canberra to record live at the 2023 New Economy Network Australia (https://www.neweconomy.org.au/) (NENA) conference: ‘Life after Capitalism'. We recorded a collage of presentions and interviews with conferences attendees into order to showcase nearly two hours of Post-Growth goodness. This episode includes well-known names such as Tom Ballard, Donnie MacLurcan, Anitra Nelson and Gareth Hughes. (graphic courtesy of NENA) PGAP acknowledges the Ngunnawal, First Custodians of the country where the recordings of this conference took place. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge that colonisation continues in the form of growth- based capitalism that privatises, pillages and pours concrete over lands that were never ceded. This is one aspect of an ongoing colonial mindset that pre-dates growth based capitalism. PGAP will never be corporatised, so it relies upon word of mouth to spread the post-growth message. So please, if you get the opportunity, share this and other episodes within your networks.

Welcome to the season five premiere of Post-Growth Australia Podcast. What better way to launch our new season than with Rob Dietz, co-host of Crazy Town Podcast, (https://www.resilience.org/crazy-town-podcast/) perhaps the standard bearer of degrowth themed podcasts. (Rob Dietz). Rob is the Programs Director of Post Carbon Institute (https://www.postcarbon.org/) (PCI). A brilliant public speaker and story teller, Rob talks us through the journey of Crazy Town Podcast, which he co-hosts with colleagues Asher Miller (https://www.postcarbon.org/our-people/asher-miller/)and Jason Bradford (https://www.postcarbon.org/our-people/jason-bradford/). He also discusses the other initiatives and campaigns run by PCI, in addition to his unique vision of a Post-Growth future. (Crazy Town's Logo). We asked Rob to share two of his favourite Crazy Town Podcast Episodes that are linked below. We do warn you, that once you start listening to Crazy Town, you might not be able to stop! Episode 34. Fear of Death and Climate Denial, or… the Story of Wolverine and the Screaming Mole of Doom (https://www.resilience.org/stories/2021-03-25/fear-of-death-and-climate-denial-or-the-story-of-wolverine-and-the-screaming-mole-of-doom-episode-34-of-crazy-town/) Episode 60. Chillin' and Killin': How Air Conditioning Has Altered Human Behavior and the Environment (https://www.resilience.org/stories/2022-06-16/chillin-and-killin-how-air-conditioning-has-altered-human-behavior-and-the-environment-episode-60-of-crazy-town/) Rob would also like us to share PCI's report: “Welcome to the Great Unraveling: Navigating the Polycrisis of Environmental and Social Breakdown (https://www.postcarbon.org/publications/welcome-to-the-great-unraveling/).” It is quality reading and we are pleased that it is making ripples. The song of choice for this episode is ‘Safe Room (https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/track/safe-room)' from host Michael Bayliss' band ‘Shock Octopus (https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/album/a-decade-into-darkness).' First released in 2011, its apocalyptic tale – of a world that has become so impacted that even the billionaires who created the mess in the first place have no safe place to hide – is becoming all the more prophetic a decade later. Michael and co-host Mark have had our music recently played on the Freedom of Species radio show, here (https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/how-can-we-be-effective-advocates-bees) and here (https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/orca-revolution-why-are-orcas-attacking-boats-iberian-peninsula) respectively. (The iconic cover of the 'Safe Room' single). We are also excited by the fact that Rob presented at an online Degrowth conference run by New Economy Network Australia (NENA). PGAP has interviewed NENA's convenor Michelle Maloney twice. The video of Rob's talk can be watched here. (https://www.neweconomy.org.au/event/crazy-town-mid-week-sanity-preserving-degrowth-hilarity/#more-9711) Your co-hosts Michael Bayliss and Mark Allen are pleased to be back for season five of Post-Growth Australia Podcast. We hope you like the cosmetic changes of this episode (graphics courtesy of Squeaky Pea Designs with photos from Photographica). We are looking forward to another season of quality guests and topics. We have not been idle during our break. You may, for example wish to have a gander at two of our recent published articles, including: “Economic reform vital to solving housing crisi (https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/economic-reform-vital-to-solving-housing-crisis,17646)s” - Mark Allen for Independent Australia “POPULATION GROWTH AND WEALTH INEQUALITY ARE MORE ENTWINED THAN WE THOUGHT: HERE'S WHY (https://www.populationmedia.org/the-latest/population-growth-and-wealth-inequality-are-more-entwined-than-we-thought-heres-why)” – Michael Bayliss for Population Media Center blog.

In this episode, Dr. Michelle Maloney discusses the need for systems change toward an Earth-centered culture where people re-consider their relationship to the Earth and their place within it. She sees Earth Jurisprudence and Earth Law as effective tools to make this cultural shift and to protect the environment from human destruction. In this conversation she reflects on the shift that needs to take place towards Earth Law and Rights of Nature, and on what it means: giving nature legal rights in the same way that humans have legal rights so that it must be legally protected. She shares the examples of both Ecuador and Bolivia that have recognized the Rights of Nature in their constitution, and on a smaller scale, rights can be given to individual parts of an ecosystem like a river or forest. She comments on the work of The Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN), a global organization dedicated to the universal adoption and implementation of legal protection for the Rights of Nature, and on how she sees the relationship between law, economics, education, and ethics. Towards the end of this conversation, Dr. Maloney shares that she sees the Earth Charter as an important tool to help people envision an Earth-centered culture.

Over the past few years I've become increasingly aware of and inspired by a being known as Michelle Maloney. Over and over, some of the most interesting areas that were drawing my attention and curiosity, I found Michelle immersed in the heart of them in Australia and beyond. Regenerative initiatives, centring Aboriginal ways of knowing, doing and being, new pathways to economic progress, ways of organising ourselves, our communities and societies in ways that respect and revere nature – Michelle not only shows up, she convenes some of the most meaningful spaces that attract both the well intentioned and those who are forging ahead in these emergent modes. I am thus deeply honoured to be sharing here the first conversation with Michelle, exploring some of her journey as well as the core themes that occupy her endeavours to transform education, the law, economic systems and structures of governance more broadly. Yes, this is a deep conversation, and an expansive one, and we knowingly offer more questions than we seek to answer in a single conversation. I hope our conversation invites you to explore more deeply many of the themes we cover, and hopefully to connect directly with Michelle and join in any or all of the hubs and groups she invites to gather. Both Michelle and I welcome your thoughts and reflections via the connection links below if you'd like to reach out. Here's a review of the key messages from this episode, based on elements of the dialogue; Nurturing conditions for ecological society If you have a society that understands where it lives, creates and recreates Earth-centred norms; and each generation shares with the next, you have the nurturing conditions for an ecological society To nurture conditions for humans to care deeply about the living world, we have to change the way humans think about their place in the world How do we understand the psyche of humans who don't value nature? How do we respect societies who do? How do we transform ourselves into a culture that is admirable & sustainable, that thinks to the future and understands our humble place in the big picture? Decolonising our minds & hearts is about understanding our history as a species, and as people living in this continent; it's also about challenging modernity the ideas we've absorbed about progress Connecting to nature I'm hugely inspired by any culture that remains connected to our bio-physical reality Where we live matters. What we do in a place matters. The colonial project here is younger than in other places, we still have the potential to heal and restore; we still have so much wonder & beauty remaining in the natural world It's about rethinking what we love & getting more time with who and what we love. More connection, more time to play & be with those we love. How do we find a new way forward for our societies by reconnecting with nature? Governance systems By governance, I refer to the way we come together, the way we live, work and play together, the norms, laws and practices of our society.

In this episode of Post-Growth Australia, we welcome back Dr Michelle Maloney, National Convenor of Australia Earth Law Alliance (AELA), to discuss the exciting new Greenprints initiative. Quoting from the AELA Website (https://www.earthlaws.org.au/our-programs/greenprints/), Greenprints “provides a practical, step-by-step approach to help people understand both the big picture and the small details, of how to transform our societies and thrive within our ecological limit”. Greenprints “offers a process to help us find and use the very best sustainability & regenerative approaches, so we can redesign societies to thrive within our local, regional & global ecological limits.” This episode was recorded online during severe gale force winds in Albany and severe rainfall in Brisbane, which unfortunately impacted on the resulting sound quality. Unfortunately folks, climate change even impacts our podcast listening experience! More information can be found on the Greenprints website here (https://www.greenprints.org.au/). An introductory video from Michelle on Greenprints can be watched on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glM8lNINF8o). (A model of the greenprints steps reproduced here with courtesy from the Greenprints website) Greenprints is a practical tool for community groups, workplaces and local government. If you or your community would benefit from Greenprints, please contact AELA, details on their website here. (https://www.earthlaws.org.au/) The online seminar from Prof. Will Steffen, where I first heard about the Greenprints initiative, can be viewed on YouTube here: “Planetary Boundaries: 2022 Update with Professor Will Steffen - Greenprints Exchange Workshop Series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1vSWPsjknI&t=1s).” Steffen also presented at the March 2022 Fenner conference which I helped to organise with Sustainable Population Australia (https://population.org.au/). A video of the presentation can also be viewed on YouTube: “Can we feed all the people and not destroy the Earth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90h5DOFNtUE&t=1s)?” Dr Michelle Maloney was previously interviewed by PGAP all the way back in Season 1. One of our more popular episodes, “Reimagining an Earth Centered Economy with Michelle Maloney” can be heard here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/4).

In today's episode Matt and Toby discuss fatherhood, Father Ted and have a rich and insightful discussion with Dr Michelle Moloney. Dr Michelle Maloney is is the Co-Founder & National Convenor of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance (AELA). AELA promotes the understanding and practical implementation of Earth centred governance - with a focus on creating systems change within western law, economics, ethics, education and culture. Michelle is Co-Founder and Director of the New Economy Network Australia and Co-Founder and Director of Future Dreaming Australia, a not-for-profit organisation created in partnership with Indigenous Elders, which works to build cross-cultural ecological knowledge and create an Earth centred society. Michelle is a tireless and unwavering change agent that has dedicated her adult life to learning about and now implementing shifts from our current human extractivist centred way of being towards a regenerative and ecological approach. The work Michelle has done for over 30 years in academia, law, governance, community, social change and ethics is incredible - and we believe she is only getting started. In today's conversation we discuss Michelle's early life and inspiration, her love of the living world, the work of Thomas Berry, systems change, Earth Law, the history of western society, being an apocaloptimist, redefining the good life and building a tapestry of change.

“Sustainability and the New Economics: Synthesising Ecological Economics and Modern Monetary Theory” is a new book fresh off the print and on the shelves. It is an impressive volume containing chapters from a host of Australian game-changers including Michael Kirby, Ian Dunlop, Will Steffen and last episode's guest Ian Lowe. The book details sobering realities regarding business as usual economics, while offering many realistic and applicable solutions based around ecological economics and modern monetary theory. PGAP spoke with lead editor Stephen Williams to find out more about this impressive book, and why economics is front and foremost of the world's problems and why things need to change. Stephen Williams has a background in newspaper journalism and law. He began his journalism career at The Canberra Times in 2000 and subsequently specialised in environmental matters. His overarching interest is in designing sustainable societies. He believes mainstream economics can only provide a path to collapse. He is the co-editor of Sustainability and the New Economics: Synthesising Ecological Economics and Modern Monetary Theory (Springer, 2022). Want to find out more about “Sustainability and the New Economics: Synthesising Ecological Economics and Modern Monetary Theory”, purchase your own copy or encourage your local library to stock up?

Did you know that climate mitigation models show that the only scenarios that avoid dangerous climate change are those which assume global population peaks in the next decade and then declines? Why is no-one talking about this? Luckily for us and the future of the planet, PGAP's two guests for this episode, Professor Ian Lowe and Doctor Jane O'Sullivan, have written a new discussion paper ‘Population and Climate Change.' Co-written with Doctor Peter Cook and commissioned by Sustainable Population Australia, this new report uses clear concise language with thorough scientific research to make a very strong case for the role that population plays in this warming world. PGAP speaks with Jane and Ian to unwrap the key points behind the discussion paper and to find out more about the stories behind these two inspiring people. The discussion paper ‘Population and Climate Change' can be downloaded from the Sustainable Population Australia website here (https://population.org.au/discussion-papers/climate/). You can find out more about SPA and their recent campaigns here (https://population.org.au/lets-rethink-big-australia/) and here (https://population.org.au/how-you-can-make-a-difference/). Ian was recently interviewed on ABC's Radio National Science Show on the ‘Population and Climate Change' discussion paper here (https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/human-population-the-driver-of-greenhouse-emissions-and-all-env/13771554). As a patron for Sustainable Population Australia, Ian was also interviewed for SPA's ‘Meet the Patrons' series of short videos here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3JW6-7O5EU&list=PLqZhQi8eQurRR5xL6xP9qGgyStq4xkVNt&index=4). Ian's interview can be heard between 00:07:10 and 00:29:52 Jane has just had a very topical article published in The Overpopulation Project: “Ukraine war: temporary glitch or tipping point?” (https://overpopulation-project.com/ukraine-war-temporary-glitch-or-tipping-point/) Last year, she was guest on the award winning US based podcast “This Sustainable Life” (https://podcasts.apple.com/br/podcast/483-jane-osullivan-debunking-the-aging-problem-scam/id1320141457?i=1000527935727&l=en) to discuss SPA's previous commissioned report “Silver Tsunami Or Silver Lining (https://population.org.au/discussion-papers/ageing/): Why We Should Not Fear an Ageing Population” - which Jane authored. Jane's interview can be heard between 00:33:08 and 01: 01: 50 I note that the New Economy Network Australia (NENA) were very kind in sharing the ‘Population and Climate Change' discussion paper. Their director, Dr. Michelle Maloney was one of the first guests on PGAP and both Jane and I have presented at NENA run conferences. NENA is collaborating with Griffith University's Yunus Centre to deliver a short course: " Building the Wellbeing Economy: Foundations for Learning and Practice." The course brings together 21 thought-leaders over 8 weeks to discuss how we might reshape the economy in which both people and the planet thrive. This is critical for any Post-Growth person to consider. To register go here (https://www.neweconomy.org.au/courses/building-a-wellbeing-economy-2022/), or follow the poster below! Loved the episode?

The festive season is upon us as we wrap close to another year in the decade of consequence. To ‘celebrate', PGAP host Michael Bayliss shares his own personal vision for a post-growth future. He looks back nostalgically on his Melbourne years, reflecting on the many successes and challenges from ten years in many various grassroots community initiatives. He also plays a selection of songs, penned by himself or by friends that espouse the Degrowth values of this podcast even if they may not inspire complete festive cheer. Enjoy! During our break between seasons, PGAP has been busy updating the graphics and the sound. What do you think of the new look? The graphics were provided by Adelaide's Squeaky Pea Designs (https://www.squeakypeadesigns.com/). The new intro theme was provided by Perth based composer and film scorer Nicholas Gardiner (https://www.nicholasgardiner.com/). Please contact PGAP anytime (https://pgap.fireside.fm/contact) to share your thoughts. Rate and review PGAP on Apple Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/post-growth-australia-podcast/id1522194099) – that would be the perfect Christmas gift (hint! Hint!) I also have a brand new Website now! Check it out here (https://michaelbayliss.org/). ‘Michalbayliss.org' is a depository of all my creativity, public outreach and multimedia projects over the years. I can also be contacted through the website for any collaborative opportunities that you may have in mind. I am available for interview, article writing, sound/video editing, project management, all at very competitive degrowth rates. PGAP is not the only podcast where I have been busy. I have recently been a guest on both the ‘Overpopulation Podcast' (https://population.org.au/spa-interviewed-on-overpopulation-podcast/) and ‘The Steady Stater' (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1244474/9663103) where I have been honoured to have some of my most enjoyable conversations in my life with some of the best hosts and all round human beings one could hope for. Stick around and have a gander! I mentioned Town Planning Rebellion (https://holisticactivism.net/town-planning-rebellion-tpr/) on this episode and have interviewed TPR's founder, Mark Allen, on two occasions during PGAP's history. Mark has been particularly influential on my activism, outlook and attitudes, and I strongly recommending checking out ‘Holistic Activism' (https://holisticactivism.net/). Mark also founded the music project ‘Counting Backwards' who provided the exclusively demo track ‘Miserable Sodding Christmas' for this episode. You can discover Counting Backwards music here (https://countingbackwards.bandcamp.com/). Speaking of influences. I would like to acknowledge the work of Michelle Maloney, Anitra Nelson, Ian Lowe, Katherine Trebeck and Anne Poelina for having an impact on my views, outlooks, and philosophical positions that I have shared on this episode. I've been lucky enough to have them all as guests on PGAP! I'm sure we don't share eye to eye on every single issue and I'm quite proud of holding my own opinions. Nevertheless, it is good to wear your influences on your sleeve! And finally, my band Shock Octopus, shared two songs on this episode: ‘A Deer Caught In The Headlights' (https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/track/a-deer-caught-in-the-headlights-4) and ‘So Far From Home (https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/track/so-far-from-home)'. The entire catalogue can be seen on Bandcamp (https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/)or on my website. (https://michaelbayliss.org/music) Stick around for the new year when PGAP launches season 3 in style with a star studded cast of special guests. Until then, have a great festive season.
Conversation with Dr Michelle Maloney, the Co-founder and Director of the New Economy Network Australia (NENA). Michelle is also the Co-Founder & National Convenor of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance, promoting the understanding and practical implementation of Earth centred law and governance.
“What we feel shapes what we believe. What if we could feel the future before it arrives?” So reads the back cover of new fiction book ‘Mage' written by sustainability professional, post-growth advocate and Adelaide local Sharon Ede. In this penultimate episode of the second season of PGAP, Sharon tells us why fiction, story-telling and emotional resonance are essential communications tools for the environmental movement to engage with the broader community. Providing facts and figures to rally the troops over large-scale existential crises has so far failed to work. Engaging people emotionally through storytelling and providing a ripping yarn just might be the missing link. Mage is definitely this kind of book and hopefully this interview will convince you to add 'Mage' to your post-growth library. I have not come across much post-growth fiction in my travels. Up until a few years ago, the 1970s novel ‘Ecotopia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotopia#Reception)' provided a fascinating day-to-day account on how a more ecocentric society might operate on the west coast of the USA. Unfortunately, the book is starting to show its age somewhat in some of its social justice attitudes when looked back through the lens of the 21st century. A much more up to date fictional account of a post-growth society can be found in the 2013 novel ‘Entropia' (https://au.permacultureprinciples.com/product/entropia/) by Dr Samuel Alexander. At a seminar at the 2019 Earth Ethics conference in Melbourne, Dr Alexander shared with attendees the importance for story-telling and art to carry the environmental message to the broader world. In fact, the music project ‘Mortimer's Method' (https://mortimersmethod.bandcamp.com/) took this idea of art as education a step further by putting samples from the audio-book of 'Entropia' to modern music. An extract of the track 'How Now Shall We Live' is provided at the end of the episode. ‘Mage' joins this pantheon and yet Sharon Ede goes beyond utopian society fiction and casts a much broader net with her new novel. Spanning the continents between Adelaide, Venice and the Arctic, Mage brings together many of the ideas and innovations that Sharon has picked up through her years as an environmental and Post-Growth advocate. It is a ripping epic of a yarn, worthy of comparisons to Dan Brown, Tim Powers or even an episode of Doctor Who. This episode was recorded, once more, on site at Christie Walk (https://www.urbanecology.org.au/eco-cities/christie-walk/) eco-development in Central Adelaide. In fact, it was recorded on the same evening as my interview with Sue Gilbey and Mark Allen in the previous episode of PGAP! So thank you to Christie Walk for providing the venue and Sue for providing the recording technology. Sue and Mark stayed around for the interview, so on occasion they can be heard in the background during the interview. It has been a pleasure to spend some time in Adelaide and to interview the post-growth movers and shakers who call this fine part of the world home. So it is with slight sadness on my part that this is not only the penultimate episode of The Adelaide series of interviews, but also the penultimate episode of the second series of PGAP. The second season of PGAP has been an epic travelogue almost worthy of ‘Mage' including on site interviews from Northern Rivers to Adelaide and just about everywhere in between. It has been an incredible ride and thank you all for listening and travelling with me on this journey of discovery. ** Too much Post-Growth barely enough? Here are some links to further occupy your time. Thank me later!** A online link to find out more about Mage (and the seal the deal on your own personal copy) can be found here (https://www.magethenovel.com/) Want to find out more about Sharon and her extensive work outside of writing great fiction?

Sue Gilbey interviewed Sharon for the Adelaide Chronicles podcast (link here) (https://adelaidechronicles.com/mage/) I mentioned Dr Michelle Maloney and the Earth Ethics conference of 2019. Michelle and her work with Australian Earth Law Alliance (AELA) and New Economy Network Australia (NENA) were interviewed for PGAP here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/4) Sharon was a founding member of the Post Growth Institute (https://www.postgrowth.org/). PGI's Robert Wanalo was interviewed in PGAP season 1 here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/pgo) The ABC article I referred to in the intro for this episode was titled "Sustainable development won't solve environmental crises, say these experts. It's simpler than that" (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-07/the-myth-of-sustainable-development/100504448?fbclid=IwAR03ZNRqZL2YaCwQjsRKiXCqWTC5u60fuco42a2YKT3pMU5k7rjJ8eOZBK8) Special Guest: Sharon Ede.
Dr Mary Graham explains aspects of the relationalist ethos and the law of mutual obligation: “The environment looks after us, keeps us alive and keeps us human and then we are obliged to do that back. ” Dr Michelle Maloney decolonises her own mind and has hints for others: “What kind of culture thinks that trashing the joint and moving on is Ok ? and that's what colonization has been”.

Kate Raworth's internationally acclaimed idea of Doughnut Economics has been widely influential amongst sustainable development thinkers, progressive businesses and political activists, and she has presented it to audiences ranging from the UN General Assembly to the Occupy movement. The Guardian even named her as “one of the top ten tweeters on economic transformation”. And last Tuesday Kate tweeted pictures of the world's first City Doughnut Day in Philadelphia, advising they are “plotting a tool so we can share it widely.” Kate's best-selling book ‘Doughnut Economics: 7 ways to think like a 21st century economist' continues to provide perhaps the most promising framework for achieving an economy fit for this century. Along with the simple yet profound visual symbol and metaphor for going about the change in how we think and organise ourselves. So to celebrate Doughnut Day, and on the back of where our last episode left off, it seemed like a good time to feature Kate on this podcast again. All the more in light of our live conversation event the day before Doughnut Day, launching Katherine Trebeck's ‘Economics of Arrival', for which Kate wrote the foreword. With the extractive 20th century model of economy continuing to falter as it hits up against a range of limits, and the world moved once again by Greta's presence at the UN's Climate Action Summit and the largest climate strike the world has seen (so far), Kate's powerful, holistic and achievable vision for our economy seems worth keeping front of mind. It's also a week out from the next National New Economy Network conference here in Perth, Australia, and it was at the 2nd of these national conferences where this 20-minute keynote address by Kate was given. It features Kate beaming in on the big screen with her customary power pack delivery, on how the economy has come to work the way it does, and how to reorient it towards what we need and want in an economy today. It's followed by Q&A with the capacity audience of around 300 people at Brisbane's South Bank, hosted by Network co-founder Dr Michelle Maloney. So how are we to create an economy that, in Kate's words, is ‘distributive and regenerative by design'? And how can we become less concerned about the growth of our economy, and more concerned about improving it?

The 2nd National New Economy conference in Australia began with a couple of extremely witty and profound keynote addresses. Together, Professor Ian Lowe and Aboriginal elder Dr Mary Graham craft a deft balance between gravity and levity, authority and guidance, and everyday language with a breadth of insight that genuinely captivates. Ian is an Order of Australia medal winner, former President of the Australian Conservation Foundation, and author of over 20 books. He talks of current trajectories and patterns, offering a broad take on what's required and what has worked for social movements most effectively in the past. Mary is a highly respected Aboriginal elder, Associate Adjunct Professor at the University of Queensland, and a consultant in Aboriginal community planning and development. She offers a sweeping perspective on ‘First Nations Economics' and its relevance to our society today. And tellingly, both speakers converge on the moral aspect of achieving the new economy transition. So what are the most important elements – the critical parametres - of the new economy? And how do we go about harnessing them towards making that new economy our reality?

Today we're featuring not one, but a number of special guests from a public conversation Anthony hosted earlier this year, on how we go about the much-needed tasks of redefining our notion of progress - and developing new ways to measure it. The panel was joined by a full house of around 300 people, together generating one of our most compelling public forums to date. Tim Costello AO is Chief Advocate for World Vision and one of Australia's most recognised voices on social justice, leadership and ethics. Dr Melissa Weinberg is a TEDx Speaker and well-known wellbeing researcher, who led the research for the Australian Unity Wellbeing Index. And Mike Salvaris is co-founder of the OECD Global Progress Research Network, and a driving force behind the development of the Australian National Development Index. It has long been recognised that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an inadequate measure of society's success and development. Yet it and our focus on economic growth driven by wasteful consumerism persist, despite the range of crises they cause and the growing recognition that limitless consumption doesn't make for healthy, meaningful human life. This conversation explores how we can change these flawed narratives, systems and measures, to guide us to a sustainable economy geared towards quality of life, rather than quantity of stuff. Along the way, we learn (or re-learn) plenty about Australia, the world, deeper human nature, and each other. And the sort of probing questions, fascinating findings, and inspiring projects covered here, all offer great grist for the mill for those of us looking to reset our guiding stars of happiness, success and progress. Is happiness the goal? Does it even work to try to increase our happiness? What makes for a meaningful life, and how do we institute that as the basis of our national accounts? What kind of leadership can we develop to this end? And how do we juggle the need to campaign on specific urgent issues, with the overarching need to address the common source of those issues? The ideas, stories and projects shared in this conversation offer plenty to guide and inspire. We adopted a fairly snappy format for this forum. After brief introductions you'll hear each speaker offer a 5-minute ‘fire-starter'. Then we launch into extensive dialogue with the audience. With thanks to Professor John Wiseman and the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute for their support of this event.

Dr Michelle Maloney is the national convenor and co-founder of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance, and the developing New Economy Network Australia. Both are strongly connected with fast-growing global movements, and a burgeoning mix of initiatives on the ground. All this has inspired a rapidly growing convergence on the 2nd New Economy conference coming up in Brisbane in September, to formalise the network and its strategies for regenerating the systems and stories we live by. Hear Michelle talk about who's involved, what it's aiming to achieve, how you can get involved, and why it matters. It's no secret that there is mass disenchantment with our economic and governance systems. And there is an extraordinary range and number of people and organisations around the world working to harness this towards positive change. Michelle explains that Australia is no exception. “At its nub, what [we're] talking about is shifting the underpinning structures that support industrial society away from destruction, and towards sustaining, nurturing and restoring life.” Thousands of people and groups are working at the new economy in one form or another in Australia. But unlike a lot of other places around the world, there has been no over-arching means of connecting and developing the movement. There have been pockets of work on the new economy everywhere, but nothing to stitch them together. “We've got all the pockets, we've got pockets galore. And we want to grow that, and amplify that …. But at the macro level, the systems change … perhaps [that's where] this network will have an opportunity to really break some new ground…. [To shift] not just pockets of activity in a local area but the systems that connect them.” Michelle emphasises that this isn't just for people working in this space already. This is for anyone who wants to be part of the network's important work. And the music she chooses for us to end this podcast will leave you in no doubt that when she describes the upcoming conference as a ‘grass roots economics fiesta', she means it! In light of all this, it was great to have an opportunity to speak with Michelle about some of her personal journey, these networks she's convening, and how they can help us rethink and regenerate our society's systems, for the interdependent aims of good human living and a flourishing planet.

In this week's Earth Matters we explore the idea of Earth jurisprudence or Earth Laws with the director of the Australian Earth Laws Alliance, Michelle Maloney. Michelle discusses how the Australian Earth Law Alliance stems from global movements for earth justice, led by first nations people, and advocates for system change in governance and the law. Stay tuned for a glimpse of another world, and the ideas, vision and practice of Earth Law. Features the track 'Lore' by Madeline Hudson.
