Abstract
This report provides a summary of the February 2026 Human Government Workshop, the fourth in a series originally convened by ANZSOG and ANU. This session was an opportunity for the inaugural ARDN Global Fellow, Sir Geoff Mulgan, to join ANZSOG Practice Fellow Martin Stewart-Weeks in a conversation with leaders from academia, civil society, business, and all levels of government. The workshop, building on previous conversations, asked what, in the past five years, has changed to enable public governance that people can trust, and does government trust the people it serves?
