The Ethics Centre

And to the whole team.

at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas and the Ethics Centre in Sydney.

I'm Natasha Mitchell.

You can find and follow Big Ideas on ABC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts.

Quite possibly.

Actually, would the first session at the Festival of Terrible Ideas be called the Festival of Dangerous Ideas? Oh, I feel really bad laughing about it because I think the Ethics Centre people are fantastic.

It's just there's a little bit of lack of self-awareness that the chaser does exist to point out

at times

My name's Simon Longstaff.

I'm Executive Director of the Ethics Centre.

I'd like to welcome you all.

I'll introduce our panellists in a moment, but before I do, I'd just like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

APPLAUSE

This session was recorded live at Carriageworks Sydney in 2026.

The Festival of Dangerous Ideas is presented by the Ethics Centre.

Everyone that we dealt with.

Without exception, everyone at the Ethics Centre who organised the festival, everyone at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas, everyone was absolutely lovely.

Yeah, and even that lovely woman who was working in the green room at the bar, I think her name, yeah, I don't know if I should say, I think her name was Fiona.

Yeah.
