Fairfax, in Queensland, stretches from Peregian Springs to Maroochydore, Buderim and the Hinterland towns of Eumundi, Yandina and Nambour. Home to three unique biospheres and traditional Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi and Jinibara land, the electorate is named for Ruth Fairfax – though it has never yet been represented by a woman.

But how widespread is it really? And how will it reshape our work, our businesses, our communities, and Australia’s place in the world? How will it impact Fairfax Electorate – our people.
Many experts believe AI adoption is still in its infancy — perhaps less than 1% of its full impact. What happens as that accelerates?
