Ms Meaghan Carmody:

We are advocating for the SDGs to be used as a policy framework so people do not fall through the gaps and are not left further behind. If we do not do that, we will continue having these frustrating conversations which are practical in their nature but could have been remedied by that perspective from the outset. The SDGs are not another add-on, strategy or policy; they are the overarching umbrella that needs to inform all policies from now on.
