Fellow Futures Foundationers,

Reading Peter Saul’s recent piece (“What’s the deal?” -- see below) on  voter / candidate contracts spurs me to this action. Like many friends, colleagues and acquaintances here, and in China and the US, I am stumped when it comes to what actions to take in response to our “powerful”, turbulent, chaotic, and pressing times. Many traditional pathways (political, volunteer, religious, social) seem useless, over-trodden, while the new are not yet clear. I and others are constantly on the lookout for promising paths, held in suspended almost-action by awareness of their uncertain potentials.

What's the deal? (between voter and candidate)
Written by Peter Saul   
Sunday, 26 November 2006
petersaulcroppedExploring alternative futures for Australia, Peter Saul found himself wondering what a formal contract between voters and their representatives might look like.   There is, of course, an implicit contract..... but how well is it recognised?  And is it honoured?   Dr Saul thought there may be merit in spelling out the details.   His draft Contract between political candidates and voters follows.    He invites comment and contributions from members of the Futures Foundation and others....

Australia 2026 - The Conscious Country

bbokcroppedAustralia 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 conscious Australia. Each wave left a change, just like brushing your hand over a shiny carpet leaves a change.   And as one brush is not 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
