Mark Cully: Waves of Plenty
About
We are delighted to host the launch of Mark Cully's essential read, 'Waves of Plenty'.Many Australians can trace family journeys to new lives in Australia. In this landmark work, Mark Cully tells the full story of immigration to Australia. Rigorously researched, 'Waves of Plenty' dismantles persistent myths, gives human faces to statistics, and maps the forces that transformed a distant colony into one of the world's most diverse societies. He traces how immigration has changed Australia, making it bigger, younger, diverse, less provincial and more powerful.
This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where Australia came from, the fraught politics of immigration, and lessons for the future.
Mark Cully was chief economist for the Department of Immigration and Citizenship and the Department of Industry, as well as chair of the OECD's Working Party on Migration. As head of macroeconomic policy in the Treasury, he led the design of the JobKeeper program during the pandemic. He is an expert panel member of the Fair Work Commission and a visiting fellow at ANU's Crawford School of Public Policy.
