Community 21 launches share offer to raise up to AU$4m

As Director of Agribusiness with the Victorian Government I helped form Wimmera 2020, in which forum Minyip and Rupanyup were identified as potential hosts for community banking.

13 years later, after a career in agribusiness, trade, regional development and sustainability, I believe even more strongly in the need to take back the economy.

Our economy is the outcome of the decisions we make and the actions we take.

As citizens we need to consider
What do we need to survive well?
How do we distribute surplus?
What types of relationships do we have with people within and outside our community?

Most people don't see themselves as significant actors in the economy. But we all decide whether to consume more, less or differently. Many of us also work to earn money, we participate in organisations and enterprises and care for one another directly or indirectly through taxes and donations.

Congratulations on Community 21. May it prosper.
