Thinking Allowed: Network Democracy - 4pm – 5pm
FREE

Technology is dramatically altering the way in which society engages with democracy.

Diverse groups are rapidly developing new and creative ways to get their messages heard, create networks and influence policy.

Who are the new 'power elites' and will these new mediums influence future policy directions of government? Are online channels finally ready to take on some of the heavy lifting in political message delivery and fundraising?

Join representatives from Australia’s leading Thinktanks - David Heatherington of Per Capita, Myriam Lyons of Centre for Policy Development, John Daley of Grattan Institue and Julian Thomas of Australian Policy Online - in a conversation with Eidos Institute’s CEO Bruce Muirhead on the emerging issues for Australia and the creative technologies which influence them.
