Ask most people and they'll tell you they take the future very seriously. Ask a politician and they'll bore you into the ground with

a professor of futures studies based at the Australian Foresight Institute within Swinburne University of Technology, and he reckons

of avoiding the disasters that are rushing to meet us. For him, understanding the future may also be the best way to change the
present. Liz Else caught up with him recently
