David Reynolds is the Chief Executive of the Department for Trade and Investment for South Australia (an Australian state twice the size of France). The Department enables economic growth in South Australia by attracting investment, increasing exports, and removing barriers to business. South Australia has built a global reputation as a leader in sustainability. The state, a leader in renewable energy, replaced coal with wind and solar. Today, 70% of the state's energy use is from renewables, which is an incredible achievement. The goal is to get to 500% renewable energy generation in order to export their surplus. David has served South Australia through the public sector since 1995. In 2022 he was awarded a Public Service Medal for outstanding public service in relation to South Australia's economic and financial response during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2018 he was awarded as a National Fellow of the Public Administration for Australia. In this episode we discuss: What hydrogen power is The cultural trait of South Australians that has produced a history of leading change Two practical actions every leader can take to advance diversity and equality in their organization Key Takeaways: As a leader, you inherit accountability for your organization. The culture you walk into. The pay and hiring inequities that were established before you got there. When you take the lead role, you take ownership of all of it. I'm not just referring to the CEO, though the tone they set is incredibly important. But if you're the head of any team, any department, you are responsible for it. You are the lead advocate for everyone on the team. You are responsible for advocating up the chain of command. So dive into the details, look under the hood, and get curious. We live in a world where we know unconscious biases favor certain individuals over others. That's why the world looks the way it does. Rest assured, you will find things that need to be fixed. It's up to you to have the courage to try new approaches to get different results. A strategy is of no use if you don't know how to implement it. It doesn't matter how beautiful the framework is if it doesn't translate into action. To be effective you need to get clear on your objective, identify the actions you're going to take to get there, and determine how you'll measure success so you'll know if your actions are working or if you need to start again. Remember, progress is a process. There will always be opportunities to improve. Our discussion around the three different types of hydrogen power (black, blue, and green) highlighted the importance of transparency. This example was a great reminder that not all things that appear interchangeable are actually equal. In this case, the end product is exactly the same. It's the same chemical element of hydrogen. However, the process of isolating the hydrogen varies drastically, creating widely different environmental footprints. Process matters. How you get to an output is in many cases more important than the output itself. Transparency has the power to create a tsunami-sized change in our purchasing decisions, which in turn changes which companies succeed and which ones fail. What you choose to buy matters. So get curious about the process for how something was created.

Ross Garnaut is in conversation on his new book, Reset: Restoring Australia after the Pandemic Recession, in which Garnaut shows how the COVID-19 crisis offers Australia the opportunity to reset its economy and build a successful future - and why the old approaches will not work. Garnaut develops the idea of a renewable superpower, calls for a basic income and explores what the 'decoupling' of China and America will mean for Australia. In the wake of COVID-19, the world has entered its deepest recession since the 1930s. Shocks of this magnitude throw history from its established course - either for good or evil. In 1942 - in the depths of war - the Australian government established a Department of Post-War Reconstruction to plan a future that not only restored existing strengths but also rebuilt the country for a new and better future. As we strive to overcome the coronavirus challenge, we need new, practical ideas to restore Australia. This book has them. Ross Garnaut AC is Professorial Research Fellow in Economics at the University of Melbourne. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences and a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Society of Australia. He was principal economic adviser to Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Australian Ambassador to China (1985-88). In 2008, he produced the Garnaut Climate Change Review for the Australian government and a follow-up review in 2011. He is the author of many books, including the bestselling Dog Days and Superpower. Dr Steven Kennedy, Secretary to the Australian Treasury since 2 September 2019, has held numerous senior positions in the public service in a 30 year career. He was the Head of Secretariat of the Garnaut Climate Change Review - Update 2011 and was awarded a Public Service Medal in 2016 for outstanding public service in the area of climate change policy. Dr Kennedy holds a PhD and a Masters in Economics from the Australian National University, and a Bachelor of Economics (First Class Honours) from the University of Sydney. Welcome and introduction delivered by Professor Brian P. Schmidt, ANU Vice-Chancellor. Vote of thanks given by Professor Helen Sullivan, Director of the Crawford School of Public Policy ANU.

He previously served as Secretary of the Department of the Treasury between March 2011 and December 2014.

Chris Masters is an investigative journalist and author. His name is practically synonymous with the craft of investigative journalism, as his face was regularly beamed into living rooms across Australia when he worked on the ABC television program Four Corners between 1983 and 2010. One of his programs had a huge effect on my home state of Queensland: in 1987, Chris’s report, The Moonlight State, led to the Fitzgerald Inquiry into corruption, which resulted in the deposition of the premier, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, as well as the jailing of three former ministers and the state’s police commissioner, Terry Lewis. Chris has produced many remarkable stories across his career, but I make special mention of The Moonlight State as this interview was recorded in late September while he was visiting Brisbane to launch All Fall Down, the third book in a trilogy about Queensland police corruption by Matthew Condon, a previous Penmanship guest. Condon said at the launch that his three books would not exist without the work of Chris Masters, which goes to show just how deeply his investigative journalism has affected so many people. I first met Chris at a Brisbane launch for his 2012 book, Uncommon Soldier: Brave, Compassionate and Tough, the Making of Australia's Modern Diggers. When I got a chance to speak to Chris afterwards, I told him that he’d been highly influential in my decision to pursue journalism, as when I graduated from the University of Queensland in 2009, Chris received a Doctor of Letters and gave a short speech which I found immensely inspiring. When I later contacted Chris after that first meeting in 2012, he kindly sent me the text of his speech, which was even more affecting for me to read after having invested a few years in the business myself. Our conversation at Chris’s hotel room overlooking the Brisbane River touches on the work ethic of his journalist mother, Olga Masters, and how that influenced his own work; how an experience with death as a young man led to him becoming involved with a charity named Redkite; how he goes about winning the trust of sources who are initially unwilling to speak to him; the thirteen years of litigation which followed the broadcast of The Moonlight State; why he believes that domestic investigative journalism is tougher than warzone reporting, and what sustains him after over 40 years in this business. Chris Masters worked at Australia’s longest running public affairs television program, Four Corners between 1983 and 2010. He made over 100 reports for the national broadcaster’s flagship program, many of them well remembered and some of them nation shaping. Chris has written four books, the most recent Uncommon Soldier (2012). The first was Inside Story (1991) followed by Not For Publication (2002) and Jonestown (2006), the latter winning three awards, including ‘Biography of the Year’. Chris is from a well-known media family, his mother Olga (1919-1986), a lifelong journalist and successful author. In 1999 Chris was awarded a Public Service Medal for his anti-corruption work. In 2005 he received an honorary doctorate in Communication from RMIT University. A further honorary doctorate was awarded in 2009 by The University of Queensland, where Chris is an Adjunct Professor.
