Advocacy, greed and the attack on rationality: lunch with a true "legend"!

The Hon Barry Jones AC really needs no introduction.  One of Australia’s 100 Living National Treasures, he may well be the greatest intellectual ever to have graced the Australian political stage. A truly progressive thinker and social reformer, his list of achievements and accolades is extraordinary. Barry can expound brilliantly and authoratively on almost any topic!

If you have never heard Barry speak, do not miss this lunch under any circumstances!  If you have previously heard him speak, you will already have booked your spot!

This will be very special!
