This year, we welcome The Hon. Justice Marcus Solomon SC as our distinguished speaker for the 15th Austin Asche Oration.
In Freedom of Political Communication and Social Cohesion, he explores how debates around free speech and political communication are reshaping Australia’s legal and political landscape, how growing prejudice and declining social cohesion are creating new challenges for courts and governments, and what these changes mean for our future.
Don’t miss this timely and thought-provoking event.
