ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Young has called for investment in a knowledge future, in a keynote speech at the HASS on the Hill conference. The full text of the speech is below. A knowledge society - the opportunity is now Today I would like to talk about a unique opportunity facing this nation. I believe we have once-in-a-generation chance to fundamentally change our economy - to build a knowledge economy and a knowledge society. The opportunity will not last forever; we must grasp it now, whilst a window of opportunity exists. Such a change would build on the investment in education made by the Federal Government in recent years, and I?d like to reflect on that for a moment. The Labor Government came to office with a major plan of investment in, and expansion of, Australia's education system.
