Our consultation process

• New set of aspirations for national progress– We now know what is important to Australians and why these things matter for national progress

• Gaps in the current picture of social progress– e.g. the built environment– Intangible things that enrich peoples’ lives

• A new domain of progress– Governance

• Relationship and tensions between the areas of Society, Economy, Environment and Governance

• Recurring themes for progress– e.g. sustainability, resilience, equity
