Budget Review 2019: A panel discussion

This budget is different. It’s a 'wellbeing budget'. What does that mean? How does it differ from past budgets? How do critical voices in an economy respond to what is proposed?

These are the questions for the panel. Fabians Auckland are pleased to bring you opinion makers able to respond to these questions. The panel members are known for speaking about change. They seek inclusion, fairness, equality and an economy that promotes social justice. How far does naming the new approach mean we can imagine a transformative economics?
