 Exploring alternative futures for Australia, Peter Saul found himself wondering what a formal contract between voters and their representatives might look like.

Sunday, 19 November 2006 |
 Australia joins the awakening of the world.....
A young Australian’s vision of a safe and conscious Australia
merges with the World Wisdom Council’s vision of global peace and a new
dimension of consciousness.
Three transformative waves
Three waves were needed to bring about the transformation to a safe and

enough to change the whole carpet, so it was that three waves were
needed to completely change the Australian National carpet.
The three waves become visible during the following three phases:
-
2006–2012 Increased transparency
-
2010–2020 Different work purposes
-
2015–2026 New humanity program

When Elaine Henry, chief executive officer of The Smith Family, spoke to the AusForesight2006 conference in October, these were the core questions she invited her audience to consider. They were not new to the futurists, of course, but it was refreshing to hear a social leader from outside the futures community addressing these issues with energy and clarity. The full text of her speech appears below.
