The Australia 2020 Summit - The Record

The Australia 2020 Summit Initial Report was made available to participants after the final session on Sunday April 20. This Report was presented to the Prime Minister, the Honourable Kevin Rudd MP by Professor Glyn Davis AC on behalf of all the participants.

Logistics in getting the Initial Report prepared and printed didn’t allow for the capturing of some of the ideas from the final Sunday sessions.

These Power Point slides from each of the 10 streams summarise the Ambitions and Goals, Priority Themes and Top Ideas.

A more detailed record of the Summit will be available during next month. This record will include:

  • A more formal and detailed record of all the discussion sessions, picking up on the range of ideas put forward;
  • Overviews of the preliminary Summit events, including the Youth Summit, local summits and schools summit;
  • A strategic overview of the ideas raised in the public submission.

The Prime Minister announced that he would like to continue the “national conversation” through the Australia 2020 website.

The submissions database on this site has been disabled. The current capacity of the website will be upgraded to continue to receive submissions and ideas.

The new site to replace this current site, will be available by 7 May 2008.
