*  Hosted by Simon Monsour - Don't Panic Yet, Episode 2 : A Conversation  with Anita Diamond  *     

    Anita has the rare experience of running for public office,  specifically for the seat of Maiwar in the Queensland state election,  and potentially having an effect on the final outcome of an election. At  the heart of her campaign was the concept of direct democracy, in which  citizens are given the opportunity to vote directly on laws and  government programs. This is the launching point for our conversation  which naturally moves into discussions of technology, capitalism and the  role of corporations, big data, sustainability and more.
