The Golden Country: In Conversation on Our Changing Identity - Thursday 30 January
From: Benjamin Harmer
Valid from: Tuesday 14 January 2020 to Thursday 30 January 2020
You are invited to a panel discussion featuring Tim Watts MP (member for Gellibrand), Dr Stephen FitzGerald AO, Sally Sitou and Jason Yat-sen Li, in conversation about Tim's new book, The Golden Country: Australia's Changing Identity.
In the book, Tim notes that in 1964's The Lucky Country, author Donald Horne wanted to capture ‘what the huge continent was like…before it was peopled from all over Asia’. Sixty years later, we need to ask what Australia is like today, as it is being ‘peopled from all over Asia’, and what a century of nation building in the image of White Australia has meant for our country.
Tim will be joined in discussion by Dr Stephen FitzGerald AO - Whitlam Institute Distinguished Fellow, Australia’s first ambassador to the People’s Republic of China, and one of Australia’s foremost China specialists, Sally Sitou, International Media and Communications specialist and former media and policy advisor for Federal MP Jason Clare and Jason Yat-sen Li - with professional background in law, Jason runs corporate advisory firm - Yatsen Associates, chairs investment firm Vantage Asia Holdings, and is a fellow of the University of Sydney.
