In this episode, hear Margaret Simons in conversation with Tim Dunlop about his book, Voices of Us. The book is a reflection on the most recent Australian federal election, and an analysis of the transformation Australian politics is capable of — to potentially become a progressive, open, economically stable and egalitarian nation.
I FIRST ENCOUNTERED Tim Dunlop when he joined Webdiary in 2001 after completing his doctorate, “Towards a Theory of Deliberative Democracy', the idea that civil discussion and debate among citizens should determine political decisions. An intellectual who has always put theory into practice, Tim sent me an epically long critique of dairy deregulation which triggered a robust […]Author informationMargo KingstonCo-publisher and editor-in-chief at No FibsMargo Kingston is a retired Australian journalist and climate change activist.

The 2021 John Button Oration asks what sort of economic future we want to leave for the next generation. How can today's policymakers better reflect tomorrow's voices? Plus, what would a sustainable, and human-centred, economy look like? Is changing the system even possible, or is it in the realm of Utopia?

Image: Esther Vargas/Flickr Among the many underlying problematic social issues the Covid-19 pandemic has magnified is how journalism is done in Australia. Journalists’ conduct during the press conferences held daily by Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews during Victoria’s second lockdown, in particular, attracted much criticism on social media channels such as Twitter. Ingrid Matthews, who teaches law and philosophy and researches law, its philosophy and the creation of criminality, and Tim Dunlop,a writer based in Melbourne who writes on Australian and US politics and the media, as well as writing books about the future of work, discuss who it is that journalists are accountable to and why it matters.
On this episode of The Grapevine, what does Australia's growing economic ties with Asia mean for the US alliance? Dylan and Kulja get on the line with US writer and journalist Patrick Lawrence to discuss Australia's future in Pacific region that he explores in his essay for Australian Foreign Affairs ‘Goodbye America - the remaking of Asia'.Then, as former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's petition for a royal commission into the Murdoch media monopoly gains hundreds of thousands of Australian signatures, Tim Dunlop explains the idea that the Australian media is ‘anti-audience' which he explores in his essay for Meanjin Quarterly 'Journalism Saves Democracy. That's Us'.And renewable energy expert Ketan Joshi calls in to talk about his new book ‘Windfall: unlocking a fossil-free future'. Joshi discusses how a decade of misinformation surrounding renewables has stalled effective climate policy in Australia, and what can be done going forward to break free from fossil fuel dependency.
Tim Dunlop equate the dystopian attitudes towards the future of work with those of the malaise and confusion around climate change.Tim, a lecturer and author from the University of Melbourne, recently spoke to a near full theatre in the university's Redmond Barry Building about "Technology, Inequality and the Future of Work".He followed his lecture with a wide-ranging and vigorous discussion with the former assistant secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, Tim Lyons.
Inequality. How dangerous is it ? Are our democracies fair ? Author Tim Dunlop says even the Ancient Greeks didn't trust their democracy to popularity contests. They recognised human weakness and used alternatives. Tim also has a convincing explanation of how privatisation fails and why hope exists. Dr Karl and the future of everything with Tim Dunlop. https://www.newsouthbooks.com.au/books/future-everything/
We are in the middle of the greatest technological revolution in history. Its epicentre lies in Silicon Valley, but its impacts are felt on all corners of the earth.
Most of Tim Dunlop's ideas resonate strongly with those of us concerned about climate change. Tim, from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne, is a pioneer in political blogging in Australia and with a background in small business and a PhD in political philosophy, writing is natural extension of those aspects of his life and his latest book, with the bold title of "The Future of Everything: Audacious Ideas for Better Life", is a worthy read. Tim's book adds to the understanding of politics and power, something people will need if they are to play useful role in the climate change conversation.Tim is decent and gentle man, two human behaviours that will be essential if humanity is to stand fast amid the quickly emerging changes global warming is bringing to the world.
This week Kulja and Dylan speak with Dr Krystal Legacy from the University of Melbourne about the newly proposed train network upgrades.Then,Tim Dunlop comes on the show to talk about his new book The Future of Everything: Big, Audacious Ideas for a Better World, which looks at technology, politics and media in the future.

Jo, Laura and Warren on the panel this week to discuss all things computing and tech, along with some great guests. Dr. William Yan, lead researcher from The Centre for Eye Research Australia comes in to discuss their recent win of Google's Social Impact Award for their Vision at Home project.The impact of technology on our work, and what jobs we will be doing in the future is a recurring point of discussion on this show, Tim Dunlop walks us through his new book which deals closely with these themes - Why the Future is Workless.
Machines are set to take over all of our jobs in the near future, author Tim Dunlop predicts. Franck Robichon/EPAWhen Tim Dunlop, from the Centre for Advancing Journalism at the University of Melbourne, started to research the future of work, his economist friends pointed to all the research showing there will still be jobs. A few years later and Dunlop isn’t so sure. His book, “Why the Future is Workless”, unpicks the research into everything from machines learning to do our jobs to the idea of governments paying us all a universal basic income. Dunlop outlines three possible scenarios off the back of all this evidence but he is most convinced that the economy, as we know it, will change dramatically. Costs will be lower, machines that learn will be able to do the jobs we do now, and, if we get the politics right, people will be free to pursue any endeavour they want to. Rather than fear this future, Dunlop suggests there may be value in embracing it.
