Other Perspectives

We are proud to be doing this work, but we acknowledge that our perspectives of what a 'good democracy' looks like are limited by our own knowledge and experience. We understand that there can be multiple ideas about what ‘good democracy’ looks like.

Below are some perspectives that we have been thinking carefully about. They remind us of where our limitations might lie, and why it is important to engage widely with the South Australian community, including under-represented groups. Please let us know if there are other materials we should be considering.  

A key part of our mission is enabling others to find their voice, lead discussion and drive change that is important to them. We want to diversify the voices involved in this project – if you want to be involved, or if you have suggestions for others who should help us lead this work, please get in touch.
