Our 2026 program got under way in March with an event presented in partnership with the Association for the Promotion of International Law. The event explored the theme: Australia, International Law and Armed Conflict –What are our obligations?
Our events are usually held on the second Wednesday of the month in the months March to November each year.
Our April event will be an event not to be missed. We’ll be hearing from Richard Dennis
Dr Richard Denniss is the Executive Director at the Australia Institute. He is a prominent Australian economist, author and public policy commentator, and previously an Associate Professor in the Crawford School of Public Policy at ANU. The Australian Financial Review listed Richard Denniss and Ben Oquist of The Australia Institute on their ‘Covert Power’ 2018 list of the most powerful people in Australia.
