Can trimtabs save democracy? | Simon Holmes à Court | TEDxSydney
Simon Holmes à Court shares how Australia’s community independents movement is redemocratising democracy — delivering better representation through broad civic engagement. Systemic change is hard, but, using the “trimtab” principle explained by 20th Century futurist Buckminster Fuller, a decentralised grassroots movement is “turning the ship of state around” by applying small, strategic force in the right place at the right moment. With thanks to D. W. Jacobs, writer of R. Buckminster Fuller: The history (and mystery) of the universe, and to the Estate of Buckminster Fuller.Simon Holmes à Court is an energy analyst, clean tech investor and climate philanthropist. He is the founder of Climate 200, the community crowdfunding initiative that helped to elect seven new community independents to the Australian Parliament during the 2022 federal election.
Simon began his career as a software engineer in Silicon Valley during the first dotcom wave, then spent more than a decade in precision farm water management. He was a driving force behind the country’s first community-owned wind farm, Hepburn Wind, near Daylesford in Central Victoria. Simon is a director at the Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network, an advisor to the Smart Energy Council and writes regularly about the transformation of Australia’s energy sector.
