The 2020 Summit

In Australia, there is evidence that the 'decade of the patronising bastard' has ended':

"ONE thousand of the nation's "best and brightest brains" will be invited to an "Australia 2020 summit" in a bold attempt to reshape the country's future."

What a good idea! (Well, I think it is. A number of others seem to think Rudd should 'just get on and govern'!)

The full transcript of this proposal is here.

One could feel a sense of anticipation at the prospect of putting forward one's solutions to a receptive and critical audience... if one had the slightest chance of being invited to this funfest.

Still, there's no reason to give up on that account, is there? After all, this is the era of blog activism! I can always put down my thoughts on webpage, and let the delegates use or ignore as they see fit.

So, that's what I'm going to do here
