Victorian Fabians Annual Dinner: 'A Future for Young Australians'

Join the Victorian Fabians for our big event of the year our 2025 Annual Dinner.

Topic: Australia has long celebrated the ‘Fair Go.’ But for today’s young Australians, that promise is slipping away. From insecure work to an unforgiving housing market, today’s youth are facing challenges their predecessors didn’t. Join us for a thought-provoking evening with Economist Alison Pennington, author of Gen F’d?, to consider what’s gone wrong and what we can do to reclaim a fairer future for all.

Alison Pennington is an Economist, Author, researcher and political commentator. She is Senior Research Fellow in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at La Trobe University and has authored the book Gen F’d?: How Young Australians Can Reclaim Their Uncertain Futures (Crikey Reads/Hardie Grant). Alison has worked in senior roles to two Ministers for Employment and Workplace Relations and was formerly a Senior Economist at the Centre for Future Work at the Australia Institute.
