Please note: this event is being held online.

Join us to hear Dr Richard Denniss, Chief Economist at The Australia Institute, Australia’s foremost public policy think tank. Richard is renowned for his ability to clearly explain complicated economic ideas and develop creative new solutions. His latest essay, Big: The Role of the State in the Modern Economy tells us it is time to jettison the obsession with the ‘unfinished reform agenda’ of the 1990s. Rather we must now consider the breadth and depth of the new challenges confronting Australia, and to chart a course in which governments take more responsibility for solving the problems that will dominate Australian lives in the years ahead.

Richard will be in conversation with Mark Rubbo.
