It's often said that hindsight is 2020. So, as the third decade of the new millennium kicks off, I'll be putting that wisdom to the test. With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight (in 2020), and with ground-breaking new research, Australia 2030, which has been augmented with commentary from leading thought leaders, investigates Australian professionals' attitudes towards the coming decade. These attitudes were formed before and during a time when the nation's and the world's worst crisis since the last world war is unfolding. The question of how to increase our capacity to adapt to a world of accelerated change has been thrust upon all of us by COVID-19 and it will be the test of that wisdom that will define the society we will become in 2030. The central questions we are all searching for answers to are what to believe - who, what, how and where the bloody hell are we? which road do we take? and what is on the other side anyway?

Recognising Australiaâs innovation imperative, the Australian Government launched the National Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA) in 2015. It provided an immediate boost to Australiaâs innovation capabilities, and created a long-term, strategic investment framework by establishing Innovation and Science Australia (ISA) with an independent and expert board. ISA was tasked with undertaking a performance review of Australiaâs innovation system, and developing a strategic plan to 2030 advising policy makers on how to optimise investment in Australian innovation. ISAâs 2030 Plan is made up of three sections : Section A explains the vision, need and opportunity for Australia to improve its innovation and science performance by 2030, Section B identifies five imperatives for action where governments can catalyse more investment and activity; strategic opportunities and actionable recommendations are discussed for each imperative and Section C proposes a roadmap for action to implement, and measure progress against the 2030 Plan, and includes a complete list of the recommendations.

Resilience and Transformation explores what factors contribute to Australia’s resilience, what trends are apparent, and what actions are required to better prepare us for the immediate and longer term future. Resilience is a word used more and more across societies worldwide as decision makers realise that predicting and controlling the future does not work and that preparing for uncertainty and surprise is vital. Many viewpoints have emerged on how to assess and achieve resilience of individuals, organisations, communities and ecosystems, but rarely has the resilience of a nation been considered. As Australia moves into a millennium that promises major economic, social, technological and environmental change, Australia21 has assembled some of Australia’s leading thinkers to give their perspectives on the extent and direction of resilience across our nation’s social, economic, ecological and disaster management systems.

“Australia’s climate and energy policy is a ‘toxic time bomb’ . . . Now Morrison, feeling the heat from Australia’s allies, from growing numbers in the business community and from a majority of voters, needs to work out how he will handle that bomb.” MARIAN WILKINSON The twelfth issue of Australian Foreign Affairs examines the growing pressure on Australia as global and regional powers adopt tough measures to combat climate change. Feeling the Heat looks at the consequences of splitting from the international consensus, and at how a climate pivot by Canberra could unlock new diplomatic and economic opportunities. Marian Wilkinson probes how Canberra is responding to international pressure on climate and asks if we are at a political tipping point. Wesley Morgan warns that Australia’s climate policy is undermining our Pacific relationships and proposes a path for rebuilding trust. Richard Denniss and Allan Behm expose Australia’s efforts to obstruct international climate action and to support fossil fuel exports. Amanda McKenzie uncovers how Australia’s climate policy impedes its diplomacy and how to address this malaise. Anthony Bergin and Jeffrey Wall outline a solution to Australia’s dwindling business ties in the Pacific. Hugh Riminton examines the future contours of the Asian Century. Michelle Aung Thin discusses the brutal Myanmar coup and its impact on the nation. PLUS Correspondence on AFA11: The March of Autocracy from Fergus Ryan, Kevin Boreham and Yun Jiang.

This new Defence White Paper explains how the Government plans to strengthen the foundations of Australia's defence. It sets out the Government's plans for Defence for the next few years, and how it will achieve those plans. Most importantly, it provides an indication of the level of resources that the Government is planning to invest in Defence over coming years and what the Government, on behalf of the Australian people, expects in return from Defence. Ultimately, armed forces exist to provide Governments with the option to use force. Maintaining a credible defence capability is a crucial contributor to our security, as it can serve to deter potential adversaries from using force against us or our allies, partners and neighbours.

Australia was one of 193 countries that came together at the high-level United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Summit in New York in September 2015 to commit to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a universal agenda, and their implementation is the shared responsibility of all countries at all stages of development, including OECD nations like Australia.Following a 2018 parliamentary inquiry into Australia's SDG implementation, the Morrison Government and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (PMAC) will require up-to-date knowledge on international best practice in governance, policy and planning for SDG implementation to inform its response to the 18 recommendations issued by the Australian Senate's Foreign Affairs and Trade References Committee in February 2019.It is critical that the Australian government takes leadership in the implementation of the SDGs in part because of the political and constitutional peculiarities of Australia's federal system of government.Only the Commonwealth has the capacity and authority to coordinate the various State and Territory jurisdictions and Local Government bodies.To date implementation of the SDG agenda has lacked leadership, prioritisation and coordination in Australia. Despite submitting its first Voluntary National Report under the SDGs in 2019, the Australian Government is yet to release a national SDG plan of action.The lack of planning and accountability mechanisms and lack of linked financing in the national budget are symptomatic of a deeper problem. In short an apparent lack of political will has meant that the SMART goal logic1 [1, 2] that many government agencies use for operationalising policy in an array of contexts is simply not present when it comes to the advancement of SDG implementation in Australia.
