    015: Raising the next generation, rebuilding Australia - Virginia Tapscott and Gerard Holland

    On X, I described the report the Page Research Centre just released as "remarkable" - a genuinely pro-family policy agenda for Australia aimed at a long-term rebuilding of the country and the social fabric, and something that can offer genuine choice for families. We touched on how the research fits into the agenda set out by the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) and Aspire here in Australia (see episode 13), and the broader social and political realignment in Australia. It also ties in with episodes 8 and 9 on childcare in Australia. There's a lot to chew on in this episode, I hope you enjoy it.
