So quickly after the final session closed yesterday was the Australia 2020 summit initial report (with pictures) posted on its website that one has to wonder if some of the pages were typed in anticipation of workshop outcomes.
The 40-page initial report covering the official 10 topics is here.
Using Acrobat Find to count, it is remarkable for those words it seldom uses or uses not at all, across these forty pages which cover everything from the economy to an alleged call for a republic.
democracy used twice
democratic not used at all
equality used once
equity used once as a financial term
justice used once as in 'justice system'
fairness used once
fairgo not used at all
rights used seven times, but two of these as in 'property rights'
welfare used three times
humanity not used at all
freedom(s) used three times
protection(s) used twice
share(ed/ing) used eleven times, but eight of these referred to data/information sharing or sharing priorities/topics/aspirations
caring used three times
disadvantage used seven times, but once was as a paragraph heading
regional used twenty-four times, but seven of these were as international descriptions
The people who supposedly decided on the language are here.
Based on simple maths they are each responsible for about 0.04 parts of one page.
