Australia has long celebrated the ‘Fair Go.’ But for today’s young Australians, that promise is slipping away. From insecure work to an unforgiving housing market, today’s youth are facing challenges their predecessors didn’t. Join us for a thought provoking evening with Economist Alison Pennington, author of "Gen F’d?", to consider what’s gone wrong and, crucially, what we can do to reclaim a fairer future for all.
