TRULY AHEAD OF HIS TIME…
BARRY JONES was way ahead of his Australian Labor Party colleagues when Minister for Science in the Whitlam government of the 1970s.Sometimes derided and disregarded by them, he was not only their intellectual superior, he was different to them and to other politicians because, being science literate, an author and a futurist, he looked ahead beyond the next election cycle.
Jones created Australia’s Commission for the Future as a forum to analyse trends and think about their likely impact on society.
His book, Sleepers, Wake! Technology and the Future of Work, has been reprinted a number of times.
No politician has since equalled his scientific literacy.
Any Australians here remember Barry?

#AdventReading #ClimateChange #SleepersWake
Today’s theme is #ClimateJustice, considering the imbalance between rich and poor: the rich polluting & ravaging the planet whilst the poor pay the price & struggle to survive in their wake.
Thank God for organisations like #ChristianAid, #TearFund & #CAFOD, to name but some, who highlight this issue. What we have now is gross climate injustice: how we need to turn things around!
