Australia Is Sitting on a Fortune... So What's Going Wrong?
Australia is one of the most resource-rich countries on Earth. So why does it feel like we're constantly told we can't afford to build for the future?
In this episode, Greg Owen argues that Australia's biggest problem isn't a lack of oil, gas, water or opportunity, it's the way we think. Instead of planning decades ahead, governments focus on the next election cycle, leaving massive opportunities on the table.
Greg shares his ideas on how Australia could unlock its natural wealth, why successful entrepreneurs should have a bigger role in shaping the country's future, and whether long-term thinking, not more politics, is the key to making Australia stronger.
In this episode:
- Why Greg believes Australia has enormous untapped potential
- The problem with four-year political thinking
- Should governments work alongside entrepreneurs like Gina Rinehart and Twiggy Forrest?
- Could Australia's natural resources create greater prosperity for everyone?
- Why long-term infrastructure projects rarely happen
- Does Australia need a completely different approach to leadership?
- Greg's thoughts on Pauline Hanson and whether minor parties can drive meaningful change
- Why younger leaders may be essential for Australia's future
