Reimagining how the ACT Assembly might work

Hosted in partnership with the Canberra Alliance for Participatory Democracy as part 1 of the Reimagining Governance for the ACT public event series

Join us for a rare and timely conversation with some of the ACT’s most influential political leaders as we reflect on 35 years of self‑government — and explore what needs to change for the future.

Panelists:

• Michael Moore

• Gary Humphries

• Caroline le Couteur

• Kate Carnell (if available)

• Others tbc

MC: Genevieve Jacobs

Together, our panel will explore:

• What is the history of self government in the ACT?

• What was the original vision for a self‑governing ACT?

• How has that vision played out?

• What challenges have emerged?

• What reforms are needed now — and into the future?

Audience ideas from the event will be collected and used as seed proposals for a public Pol.is poll running 16–24 June. The results will feed directly into the community workshop on 28 June.

This is a chance to shape the next chapter of ACT governance.

A small donation would be appreciated to cover printing, stationery and the occasional room hire as we are a small unfunded community group.
