Australia has always relied on self-starters: people who work hard, take risks, build businesses and back themselves.

But for many Australians, getting ahead feels harder than it should. Rising costs, growing red tape and economic uncertainty are making it tougher for small business owners, young entrepreneurs and working families to build something of their own.

Join me for the next Democracy, Dialogue & Drinks: Incentives for a Self-Starter Economy. Together, we’ll ask whether Australia still rewards effort, enterprise and aspiration.

We’ll be joined by Michael Brennan, CEO of the e61 Institute and former Chair of the Productivity Commission, and Bianca and Bridgett Roccisano, co-founders of Small Business, Booby Tape, for a practical discussion on productivity, entrepreneurship, resilience and growth.

This will be an interactive conversation shaped by your questions, experiences and ideas.

This event is strictly by RSVP only.
