Huge fan mate, you convinced my sister Billee to vote after she was on Triple J! I'm gonna ask one of the world's biggest current questions if that's cool.

With the increasing ubiquity of workforce automation & machine intelligence and especially the notion that machines will very likely be smarter than people in most ways by around 2030 (one set of teenagers away), how do you think we can bring sufficient change to both the Australian and global political and economic system(s) over the next 10-20 years to adequately address mass unemployment as our exponential increase in near-humanless sustainable productivity means the world's jobs are either automated away from existing workers or are designed without human involvement in mind from the very start, while productivity increases?

I think it's going to be nonsensical to force people into work to "give back what we owe" to a system largely operated by robotic labour when we could use our very limited time on Earth for far more fulfilling things. Massive thanks in advance :]
