A Discussion on Indigenous Affairs in the Context of the Voice Referendum
Dr Shireen Morris | Dr Anthony Dillon | Alex Perrottet
We are excited to announce that the 2023 Warrane Lecture is set to be held on Tuesday the 26th of September with special guests Dr Shireen Morris and Dr Anthony Dillon.
Beginning at 7:30pm, the Lecture will include an individual speech from each of our distinguished guests, followed by a discussion moderated by the College's Dean, Mr Alex Perrottet.
This will be followed by a general Q&A from the audience, so we encourage all guests to prepare relevant questions to aid the flow of discussion.
Both Shireen and Anthony are widely published in the area of Indigenous Affairs but hold opposing views on the upcoming voice referendum, the nuances of which will be discussed.
