Australians have never until now consciously and comprehensively outlined who they and their nation are, and where, in specific historical terms, they wish to find themselves into the indefinite future. Australia 2050 is a landmark study of national significance which seeks to provide Australia with a framework for responding to future challenges. This study attempts to understand the shape which the world of the coming half century will take, and how Australia can best fit within it, preserving its identity, languages, culture, prosperity, and security. It is an attempt to prepare the nation for the great global transformations of the future. Australia cannot ignore, or escape from, this change. It will need to cope with it more than ever as an independent nation, navigating carefully between the often differing interests of its great trading and security partners. Australia can indeed shape a future which is as promising and bright as its first century of independent growth, and the preceding century of colonial construction. But it cannot do so without planning or introspection. This study is a step along that path to introspection and global situational awareness, and it outlines areas of fundamental concern and essential consideration. This study represents a series of valid and serious opening points in a debate which should energise the entire nation. Indeed, this study is only a starting point for debate, not a finite or prescriptive list of conclusions. Within all this research and analytical material, it will be discovered that the outlook for Australia is bright, despite the reality that the challenges of the coming half-century will be titanic and testing. But now is the time that we must think upon this future we face, and how best we can master it.
