Grattan Institute CEO Danielle Wood delivered the annual Giblin Lecture in Hobart last week. A partnership between the University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian branch of the Economic Society of Australia, the lecture is named for the eminent Australian economist, Lyndhurst Falkiner Giblin.\n\nDanielle used the occasion to issue this plea: \u201cLet\u2019s drop the petty generational warfare, and work together to ensure that the Australia we leave to our children is better than the one we inherited.\u201d\nAnd she set herself this tough task: \u201cI want to explore the issues that young people tell us are keeping them up at night, and let them know why this has happened but also what we might as a nation do about it.\u201d\nIn this special edition of the Grattan Podcast, we present a recording of Danielle delivering the lecture, complete with slides.
