Filmed as part of the 2011 Ideas Festival, Brisbane. Time after time, Australians have demonstrated resilience in the face of man-made and natural disasters. This ability has served the country well in the process of re-building following such events. Drawing on his work in the Murray-Darling Basin, Chris Miller questions whether such characteristics will enable Australia to navigate the uncertainties of current policy debates. He argues that the adaptive processes needed to address current dilemmas require us to nurture different capacities for successful social and economic change. Chris is also featured in the May edition of the Griffith REVIEW.
