ANU Crawford Leadership Forum 1 WELCOME
The central challenge for democratic governments everywhere is to make good policy good politics. 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 fifth 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 research, 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 fifth 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 seize opportunities in this time of rapid change.
Brian Schmidt Vice-Chancellor, The Australian National University 2011 Nobel Laureate in Physics
2 ANU Public Policy and Societal Impact Hub THE FORUM
In mid-2018, the world will still be confronting a period of rapid change. Some of the issues may be seen as the ‘new normal’. >> The Trump style of Presidency is now better known, if sometimes still hard to understand. >> The rise and rise of China has consolidated under President Xi. >> Climate change continues to challenge the global community and the pressures on trade liberalisation and global economic integration have been reinforced. Domestic political and economic realities continue to shape Australian responses. In 2018, the ANU Crawford Leadership Forum will seek to focus on the opportunities presented by this period of change. It is too easy to become mesmerised by the scale of the challenges. But if we focus on the opportunities it tends to put the challenges in a better perspective. This year’s Forum brings together a truly outstanding group of international and domestic speakers and participants to discuss how to seize the opportunities and meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

Llewellyn Hall The future of the internet
Vint Cerf will explore areas where serious technical and policy efforts are needed to reinforce the utility of the internet and diminish some of the harmful behaviours we are seeing. Some of the work will require transnational cooperation. Some solutions have much to do with educating users about protecting themselves when online and thinking critically about content. Technical improvements in software production will help, as will better security tools and practices. Vint will finish up with some speculations about the arc of the Internet as we get to the mid-2000s.
