Introduction
Securing Australia's Future By Simon Torok and Paul Holper, 208pp, CSIRO Publishing, 2017 Introduction We can’t know the future, we can’t predict it with great certainty, but we ought to know it’s going to be different, so we may as well think as constructively as we can about how to make it better. – Ian Chubb, launch of SAF08 Delivering Sustainable Urban Mobility, 7 October 2015 An evidence-based approach to informing policy Early in the second decade of the 21st century, the Australian Government recognised that a rapidly evolving global environment presents both opportunities and challenges. The Government engaged the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) to under- take a series of detailed interdisciplinary national and international assessments to help guide Australian thinking and policy decisions. ACOLA, an independent organisation that links more than 2000 of Australia’s most eminent academics to support evidence-based interdisciplinary research, harnessed the expertise from across the country’s academies. This included many of Australia’s most influential leaders in the humanities, arts and social sciences (HASS) and science, technol- ogy, engineering and mathematics (STEM) domains. They did extensive research and, based on extensive evidence, compiled a series of well-supported findings designed to encourage Australia to be creative and innovative, adaptable and resilient. The ultimate objective of the work is ‘to secure the country’s future’. The scope of the SAF project was limited by the commission agreed between the gov- ernment of the day and the Office of the Chief Scientist. There was no suggestion that the project would examine every major challenge facing Australia, so, for example, there was no specific report that examined health policy, nor the implications of Australia’s demo- graphic changes such as increased life expectancy. -
