Recorded live in Melbourne in March 2025, this event — co-hosted with Effective Altruism Australia — brings together three speakers making the case for reforming our charitable giving laws.

Ryan Ginard (Fundraise for Australia) argues that without fixing the infrastructure, the $5.4 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer will pass the charitable sector by. 

Clare Ozich (Justice Connect) explains exactly what the system is, why it fails, and what the Productivity Commission's solution would do. 

Grace Adams (Effective Altruism Australia) shows how DGR rules actively distort giving away from some of the most important causes of our time. 

Myriam Robin of the Australian Financial Review moderates the panel.
