Australia Federal Election Gathering : Health, Wellbeing and the Economy

This is a weekly public discussion counting towards the election, to encourage the public to start thinking and most importantly engage with the issues closest to their hearts before voting.

This will be an online meeting where the first 15 minutes will be for everyone to get to know each other, before proceeding to the topic at hand.

While this will be lightly moderated, everyone is expected to be open and respectful to each other life experiences and to engage in a civil discussion. The aim is not to win a debate, but to be able to listen and understand why others come to the view that they do.

The weekly topic will be based on user feedback, so please comment in this event to suggest future topics. In addition to being based off topics already covered by https://www.abc.net.au/qanda/ .

Current topic for this week is about Healthcare, the social safety net and the state of the economy. Often these are seen in opposition, but is there a way to see each of these topics working together? Come to the discussion and tell your views!
