Project Australia

Project Australia is the name given to launch a national night of discussions in towns and cities all around Australia for younger people to consider the question, ‘what can we do about the future of Australia?’ The night is particularly aimed at people under 40 years of age, seeking a better future for Australia, who feel somewhat misrepresented by left wing activism, frightened by neo-liberal ideology, distressed with religious conservatism and wary of joining an all-consuming political party.

On the evening of December 2nd 2006, meetings will be held in towns and cities around the country. Each meeting will have up to twelve participants, be held in an individual’s home or at an agreed venue and be guided by a voluntary facilitator.

Anyone with a passion for creating a better Australia is welcome to attend.

If you are interested in participating, email your:

•  name
• best email address
• phone number
• your (nearest) town or city

to the relevant state or territory coordinator listed below.

NSW: Julia Fetherston
ACT: James Orchiston
TAS: Felix Ho
SA: Victoria Saint
WA: Neil Witkowski
NT: Damien Moriarty
VIC: Alan Wu
QLD: Ben Gilna

If you would like to facilitate a meeting (and we require many facilitators!), write to your coordinator stating your interest and any experience you may have in hosting meetings.

Confirmed facilitators will be notified by November 8 and sent a two-page manual. Further details can be found on our website!

Young people have a vibrance and spirit that makes us unique. We can create a brighter future, for all in this country, but our first steps must be small. I hope you will join us in both taking and directing those steps
