    Paul Keating, launch of the Centre for Applied Policy in Positive Ageing

    Public forum with Paul Keating for the launch of the Centre for Applied Policy in Positive Ageing (CAPPA). CAPPA is our "do tank" within a think tank, a place for us to roll up our sleeves to turn some of our great policy ideas from the Blueprint for an Ageing Australia and our Longevity and Positive Ageing project into real life initiatives to make the great gift of increased longevity into a social and economic opportunity for Australia. Per Capita’s David Hetherington said at the launch, “we need to move beyond talking to action; to start trialing what works and what doesn’t”. Longer lives can present Australia with an enormous opportunity rather than a threat, if we get it right.
