While the views presented by speakers within the Hawke Centre public program
are their own and are not necessarily those of either the University of
South Australia or The Hawke Centre, they are presented in the interest of
open debate and discussion in the community and reflect our themes of:
strengthening our democracy – valuing our diversity – and building
our future.
