Australia 2020 Summit
The Australia 2020 Summit was a convention, referred to in Australian media as a summit, which was held on 19–20 April 2008 in Canberra, Australia, aiming to "help shape a long term strategy for the nation's future".[1] Announced by the new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, the summit drew limited bipartisan support from Brendan Nelson and the opposition Coalition parties, and ran as 10 working groups of 100 participants.[2]
1002 delegates[3] attended the summit to discuss ten "critical areas". Ideas and proposals were invited from all members of the community, and an official web site was set up to accept submissions.
The 10 critical policy areas were:
- Productivity—including education, skills, training, science and innovation
- Economy—including infrastructure and the digital economy
- Sustainability and climate change
- Rural Australia—focusing on industries and communities
- Health and ageing
- Communities and families
- Indigenous Australia
- Creative Australia—the arts, film and design
- Australian governance, democracy and citizenship
- Security and prosperity—including foreign affairs and trade
Participants
The summit was led by an 11-member steering committee, whose initial membership was announced on 26 February 2008. The committee played a key role in selecting the other participants, and each member led one of the working groups together with a government co-chair.[4] Since the initial announcement, Dr Kelvin Kong (Indigenous Australia) withdrew due to family health reasons, and Dr Jackie Huggins was appointed to replace him. On 14 April 2008, an additional co-chair, Dr Julianne Schultz, was announced for the Creative Australia stream.
There were two additional late participants who had been granted special entry as winners of competitions and their names did not show in the original lists of participants. They both attended the Productivity Stream Agenda. Their names were Susan Roberts, TAFE Head Teacher of Child & Family Services from Taree who had won a national competition by Channel Nine[5] and Ernie Peralta, a university lecturer whose "Golden Guru" concept of business mentoring was later adopted in Queensland.[6]
The members of the steering committee were as follows:[4]

Criticism
The summit was initially criticised for the near-absence of women on the 11-member steering committee who would pick the 1,000 delegates—only actress Cate Blanchett had been named. The Government responded by saying six of the co-chairs would be female politicians.[8][9] By the time of the summit, there were three women on a 12-member committee.[4] Additionally, other commentators such as the Institute of Public Affairs, Australians for Constitutional Monarchy and Australian Monarchist League criticised what they saw as the unrepresentative nature of the delegates, which in their view biased the final report towards republicanism and ideas such as constitutional reform and a bill of rights.[10]
Some of the delegates themselves expressed criticism of how the summit was conducted. In particular, claims were made that the final paper which purported to represent the resolutions of the sub-groups did not reflect ideas which they had espoused or did include ideas which they had not discussed, possibly reflecting an agenda which had been determined before the summit.[11][12][13] Others were concerned that hard issues, such as terrorism in the group examining foreign affairs and security issues, were ignored.[14]
Journalist Nicholas Stuart was initially struck by the people who were not invited to Australia 2020, including two ANU professors Paul Dibb and Hugh White who had both advised Kim Beazley. Looking at the list of those invited, he found that the holes kept expanding as I looked further and further, searching for the others who should have been there. He said it began to appear as if one group of advisors .... under Howard had been replaced with another group of similarly hand-picked individuals, plus some media names.[15] There was no continuing secretariat for any follow-up action for the recommendations from the conference or the ten subgroups or forums.[16] Wayne Swan managed to get a review of the taxation system, to be prepared by the Treasury,[17] but in May 2010 when Rudd eventually released the report, he rejected 135 of the 138 recommendations .[18] Stuart wrote The 2020 summit provided a paradigm for much of the activity in Rudd’s term of office .... His rhetoric inspired and enthused voters. And yet .... and yet .... nothing happened. [19]
