2023 Manning Clark Lecture Craig Foster

Australia’s Third Act: Reconciled, Independent, Truly Multicultural

Manning Clark Hall, Kambri Cultural Precinct, ANU

In the week of the coronation of King Charles III - Australia's undemocratic, unrepresentative and non-elected Head of State - Craig Foster will explore the meaning of contemporary Australian identity, social and cultural changes since the 20th century, lessons from the 1999 Referendum, advances in historical understanding leading to a powerful national movement of truth-telling and reconciliation, and why it is time for Australia to commit to true democracy and equality and walk both together, and alone, as a Republic.
