Citizens assemblies and other mini-publics are often ‘sold’ as representative of the wider public. Is this a responsible claim? Conversation featuring @participatory @drpspada & @kredman500 published by @delibdemjournal edited by @LucyJParry. publicdeliberation.net/how-r…

Great piece on citizen assemblies - the next frontier of democratic innovation - by @harvardash colleague @hrgilman @BostonGlobe bostonglobe.com/2023/08/18/o…

Citizens’ assemblies have the potential to repair our broken politics.

If you’ve just heard about Wagner & Prigozhin and are confused. Then here’s a great explainer. The video is from May, before the events of the last day or two and helps put it in context. 7 mins on Putin, Prigozhin and the Wagner group

"There needs to be a source of information on the Voice that is informed, reasonable, fair and trusted." #ANUExpert A/Prof @RonWLevy, Prof John Dryzek and Prof @selenAercan suggest a new way of informing the public in the lead-up to the #Voice referendum. theconversation.com/in-a-voi…

In a Voice campaign marked by confusing, competing claims, there’s a better way to educate voters

A ‘mini-public’ of regular citizens has been proven to be an effective way of translating complex policies to the general public in an accessible, trustworthy way.

Replying to @ProfPCDoherty @ConversationEDU
I’ve been present at a few of these deliberative democracy sessions and might be good for educating the general public. They’re detailed, educational and can be transformative. Fred Cheney, Luca Belgiono-Nettis, newDemocracy and @activedemocracy have trialled this in Australia.

A citizens’ referendum review on the #VoiceToParliament may provide what political leaders cannot – a fresh and open mind, and a sense of perspective about which arguments do or don’t hold up. Read this collab @RonWLevy x @selenAercan & John Dryzek theconversation.com/in-a-voi…

'I think she's doing our class!' 🤓 TONIGHT in our final seminar on Co-Design and Deliberative Engagement, we kick off our discussion with @spenderallegra's proposal to convene a Citizens' Assembly on Housing Affordability. @UCschoPES @UCBGL
Allegra Spender (@spenderallegra) profile pictureAllegra Spender@spenderallegra14 Jun 2023
Proud to join the growing crossbench to call for a fresh approach on Housing Affordability. A Citizens' Assembly of 100 randomly picked Australians - balanced for men, women, young, old, homeowners, mortgagees and renters - can find consensus where old politics has failed.

Here is one from the ACT on 'Housing Choices' i.e., missing middle zoning. This resulted in variations to the Territory Plan and @JohnDaley_ was among the experts who presented. Another is the City of Melbourne's People's Panel on 10-Year Financial Plan. yoursayconversations.act.gov…

Housing Choices

The ACT Government is investigating whether the housing needs of the Canberra community are currently being met and how they can be better met in the future.

I'd suggest @spenderallegra and the crossbenchers who just proposed a citizens' assembly on the issue.

And by governments! Ireland is currently holding a citizens' assembly on drug law reform. They help get beyond the "politics" of an issue, which is useful for communities AND governments.
