By making the relationship between economic growth and the environment transparent, it might change the national conversation.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-11/gdp-growth-and-environmental-destruction/101730502

If I’m going to take advice from anyone, it’s going to be from gold medallist and inclusion advocate, Matt Levy (OAM).
