Unlike countries that practice social partnership governance (e.g. Norway, Sweden, Germany), adversarial Westminster-style governance produces policy gridlock, most evidently in the field of climate change.
In this interactive presentation, Sandy Murray will outline the dysfunctional nature of Australia’s climate change debate and, by implication, our adversarial, no-compromise, opposition-for-opposition’s sake politics. Sandy will argue that to generate rapid progress towards effective climate action—and more broadly to achieve sustainability—a new, Antipodean social partnership governance model must be envisioned, operationalised and implemented.
