The 20th Annual Hawke Lecture was delivered by The Hon Julia Gillard AC, Chair of beyondblue.
Former Prime Minister The Hon Julia Gillard AC looked back on the role The Hon Bob Hawke AC played in her own life and his enduring legacy to the nation as a leader that demonstrated both courage and a drive for consensus. Given her role as Chair of beyondblue, Ms Gillard discussed how courage and consensus are still needed now as we search for new approaches to common, debilitating conditions like anxiety and depression.
The University of South Australia awarded The Hon Julia Gillard AC with an Honorary Doctorate at this event.
