Our partner Georgina Legoe had the pleasure of attending the ESG for SMEs Symposium hosted by the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman to design a pathway for small/family businesses to incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance as a part of operating a successful and enduring business. The Symposium was invitation only and brought together leading thinkers, regulators, practitioners, academics and smaller enterprises who are 'walking the talk'.

Yes there is a driver - with the release of the Australian Government's climate-related financial disclosure exposure draft legislation. The draft outlines that the reporting requirements will be phased in over four years, starting with the largest companies and major greenhouse emitters in 2024. To illustrate the relevance to small/family business - Coles or Woolworths will need to report on climate metrics and emissions and for this to be accurate they will require their suppliers to provide the data.

The good news is that there are 'delicious opportunities' that can be unlocked with ESG for SMEs.

attended the inaugural event for the Parliamentary Friends of Entrepreneurs, Small and Medium Business co-hosted by ACCI and co-chairs Allegra Spender , Bert van Manen MP and Susan Templeman MP . It was great to hear the support from the Friends co-chairs and the Minister for Small Business Julie Collins MP on their recognition of the vital role played by small business to Australia’s economy.

on 13 March our partner attended a talk by Yanis Varoufakis - Γιάνης Βαρουφάκης at National Press Club of Australia.

You may remember that Yanis was Greece’s Finance Minister in 2015. Before that he was an Economics lecturer at University of Sydney – and has had many other roles. A prolific writer, his most recent book is ‘Techno-Feudalism. What killed Capitalism’. Yanis is a powerful presenter and can translate very complex systems for those of us less knowledgeable of this world. Here's a good attempt at summarising the premise of Yanis’ latest book.

Techno-feudalism describes the replacement of traditional capital by what he calls “cloud capital,” which no longer focuses on growth, value and profit, but instead on rent extraction and control. The “cloudalists” are the new capitalist bosses, and their influence extends far beyond the workplace to nearly every facet of your app-powered daily life. According to Varoufakis, when we are the product — as we are when our clicks and searches generate profit for massive corporations, when our data is bought and sold — we’ve gone over from the relative freedoms of capitalism to technofeudalism, in which those who control the platforms have direct control over the rest of us, reducing us to the station of “cloud serfs.”

Another voice inviting us to think more deeply about our cloud dominated lives.

Earlier this month our partner Georgina Legoe, attended an International Women's Day event at The Australian National University where she listened to two inspiring women tell their story.

From the construction world, the 2024 ACT Australian of the Year and General Manager (ACT) of . Jo is a carpenter and builder who set up a NFP to encourage and support girls and women to find careers in the trades. Georgina had previously met Jo through their involvement in House for Mothers & Babies and their Women4Women Circle. The Circle was established in late 2023 to devise strategies that engage the local community to support the ACT's only specialist homelessness provider for women who are pregnant or parenting a newborn and have nowhere else to turn.

Please find link to Jo in the comments below.

told her story beginning with an apprenticeship in cabinet making, scenery builder running the Australian Opera construction workshop, and on Mad Max films, Dead Calm, and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Then a total flip to academia including a PhD from Cambridge and a Chair at King’s College London. In 2023 she took up her role as Dean, College of Arts and Social Sciences at The Australian National University .

Both very unusual stories, with many challenges, told with humour and humility.

Georgina was invited by Senator David Pocock and the Hon Katy Gallagher , Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Minister for the Public Service to a co-hosted procurement roundtable on 22 March. The purpose of the roundtable was to discuss solutions, actions and next steps on procurement reform. It was refreshing to hear from both the Senator and the Minister that they are focused on positive steps to improve outcomes for the government, Australian SMEs and taxpayers alike.

Why is this important? Well, to give some context – Federal government spend $70bn p.a. and issue 75,000 procurements annually.

Needless to say the small businesses present, such as Iceni, gave candid feedback on the current procurement framework and practices and a number of suggested solutions and improvements were proposed to the Senator and the Minister. We will all watch this space for action – so that true small businesses are given the opportunity to work on Federal government projects.

On 6 March our partner Georgina Legoe attended a conversation with Genevieve Bell and Andrew Leigh on his new book The Shortest History of Economics. A small book that tells a big story. With these two on stage the story came to life and was entertaining, and breathtaking in the scope of topics covered. I guess that is what you get when the author has a PhD in Public policy from Harvard; and the new VC of ANU has a PhD from Stanford in cultural anthropology and who is also a technologist and futurist. It was good stuff.
