‘Our current system is failing our community – inequality is growing and more Australians find themselves on the edge of society. Things need to change! We don’t just need to be creative, brave and resourceful to tackle these issues, we also need to recognise the broader societal impact of our everyday decision-making. This means putting social value at the heart of how our economy operates to ultimately deliver better outcomes for people and the planet.’
