Episode 118 - Protecting the Rights and Needs of Children and Future Generations
Update: 2025-01-24
Description
Welcome back for our first episode of 2025. We bring you panel conversation from a “Breakfast by the Bay” event recorded in October 2024 at the University Club of Western Australia. The panel conversation was moderated by Linda Savage, lawyer, former member of parliament and law reform and social justice advocate. The panellists were:
Kate Chaney, Independent Federal Member for Curtin
Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor Brett Hart, Pundukunu Aboriginal Service
Amie Furlong, Government Relations and Research Advisor, Foundations for Tomorrow
Jacqueline McGowan-Jones, Commissioner for Children and Young People WA
A/Prof Rebecca Glauert, Director of the Australian Child and Youth Wellbeing Atlas at UWA
The conversation covered a range of topics related to the rights and wellbeing of children and young people, as well future generations. These topics included how governments consider this group in government decision-making and future planning, which touched on how we could learn from some world-leading legislation enacted in Wales that deals with this issue. The conversation also covered mental health, education, and a move away from short-term thinking in policy making, and how young people can and should be more involved in policy development.
Many thanks to A/Prof Paul Maginn and Clare Feenan from the UWA Public Policy Institute for hosting the event and collaborating with us once again.
