Australia is not alone in facing ever more intense geopolitical, economic and social policy challenges, but finding it difficult to build the political and community consensus necessary to confront them effectively. The ANU Crawford Leadership Forum, now in its sixth year, brings together on an invitation- only basis, 150 distinguished business, public sector, research and advocacy community leaders, Australian and international, to debate for two days both the global realities and the domestic choices needed to address them. There is no more appropriate venue to wrestle with these issues, and to begin building the consensus necessary to resolve them, than this great national university of ours, and I offer all our visitors the warmest of welcomes. Gareth Evans Chancellor, The Australian National University Chair, ANU Crawford Leadership Forum Honorary Professorial Fellow, ANU Crawford School of Public Policy The Australian National University aspires to the highest standards of excellence—to be recognised not only as our national university but our finest; in esearch,r in academic excellence and in our contribution to national and international public policy-making. I am proud to welcome you to this year’s Crawford Leadership Forum. In its sixth year, this forum has become an important arena for leaders across our nation to discuss the major challenges facing our country and beyond, and to foster ideas that can inform the development of public policy. We have some incredible minds coming together for this year’s forum and I look forward to participating in these discussions as we look at ways to rebuild trust. Brian Schmidt Vice-Chancellor, The Australian National University 2011 Nobel Laureate in Physics 5 THE FORUM Trust is a precious commodity. It is hard to win and easy to lose. In mid-2019 trust in many of our institutions is severely damaged. The Banking Royal Commission, the reports of institutional abuse and the lack of response from the churches, the decline of mainstream media and the rise of echo chamber social media have all challenged our trust in Australian institutions. But it is a global phenomenon. Brexit has exposed the UK parliament’s inability to resolve a crisis; Donald Trump has exploited the hyper-partisanship in US politics. And the established international order of treaties and agreements is under challenge. This all reinforces the need to look at how we re-build trust. We need institutions worthy of the people’s trust and messages that tell people the truth about them. This year’s Forum brings together a truly outstanding group of international and domestic speakers to attempt to distinguish the ephemeral from the enduring trends and begin the necessary task of rebuilding the trust that is essential to a healthy democracy.
