1:22:47Now PlayingJohn Anderson hosts a candid discussion with Gerard Holland, Freya Leach and Jossiah Langton about the immense social, economic and political pressures facing Gen Z. This generation is often described as disillusioned, anxious, and disengaged, yet beneath the headlines lies a complex story shaped by economic hardship, cultural uncertainty, and a loss of shared meaning.
This is a conversation with three young Australians who are working to restore, not dismantle, the institutions that hold society together. From housing affordability and family formation to energy policy and political radicalisation, the discussion considers why confidence has eroded, and what must change if Australia is to recover a sense of shared purpose, responsibility and national continuity.
Gerard Holland is the Chief Executive Officer of the Page Research Centre and has previously served as the Director of Outreach and Strategic Partnerships at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC). Freya Leach is Co-Host of The Late Debate on Sky News Australia and is the Director of the Centre for Youth Policy at Menzies Research Centre. Jossiah Langton is the Operations and Engagement Manager for FORM Australia Ltd., a not-for-profit inspired by ARC, dedicated to elevating the quality of public leadership and discourse in Australia.
