* Hosted by Simon Monsour - Don't Panic Yet, Episode 2 : A Conversation with Anita Diamond *
Anita has the rare experience of running for public office, specifically for the seat of Maiwar in the Queensland state election, and potentially having an effect on the final outcome of an election. At the heart of her campaign was the concept of direct democracy, in which citizens are given the opportunity to vote directly on laws and government programs. This is the launching point for our conversation which naturally moves into discussions of technology, capitalism and the role of corporations, big data, sustainability and more.
