There are numerous areas where humans have achieved a peak of success, a ‘sweet spot’. But now that very success is threatening to unravel centuries of achievement. On the one hand, economic growth has led to a steadily improving standard of living, better levels of health and ever-increasing longevity. On the other hand, this very affluence is the reason for the obesity epidemic and a world clogged by greenhouse gases. A fundamental change in thinking is now required for dealing with both, requiring input not just from scientists or health specialists, but from everyone living on the planet.Item Art for Art's Sake(Radio Adelaide, 2011) Mackie, Greg; Sedgwick, Katrina; Schultz, Julianne; Slade, Lisa; Adelaide Festival CorporationAdelaide Festival of Ideas session, Hetzel Lecture Theatre, 10:00am, Saturday 8th October, 2011.

Can the arts sector, in particular companies and independent practitioners, survive? And what role should government play in the subsidy of arts and cultural development? What is the role of arts festivals and blockbuster events versus an ongoing cultural calendar? And what does this mean in terms of how work is seen and made and how audiences engage with the arts?Item Australia and the World After Iraq(Radio Adelaide, 2003) Manne, Robert; Mackie, Greg; Adelaide Festival CorporationAdelaide Festival of Ideas session, Bonython Hall, 10:00am, Friday 11 July, 2003.

Chaired by Chris Burrald. Hendra, Nipah, Ebola, Marburg, SARS – names that are variously familiar to all of us. What links them in our minds is the idea of scary, lethal infections. What links these viruses in nature is that they are unapparent infections of fruit bats. Bats are the most abundant mammals on the planet. Birds are everywhere too, and birds are the primary reservoirs of the influenza A viruses and a spectrum of mosquito-borne infections. Though we’ve known for years about vampire bats spreading rabies in South America, the awareness that bat-carried diseases can be a major threat is very recent. What has changed?Item Before the Bough Breaks - Doing More for our Children in the 21st Century(Radio Adelaide, 2003) Stanley, Fiona; Schrapel, Simon; Adelaide Festival CorporationAdelaide Festival of Ideas session, Elder Hall, 1:45pm, Sunday 13 July, 2003.
