Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community RESEARCH TUESDAY FORUM
Australian Politics: The Gillard Government - one year on The federal election of August 2010 delivered a hung parliament for the first time since the 1940s. Almost one year into the 'new paradigm', it is time to ask 'how well is the minority government working for Australia?' This forum - with contributions by Amanda Vanstone (former Howard Government Minister and former Australian Ambassador to Italy) and leading University of Adelaide academics - will explore some of the key policy debates that have dominated Australian politics over the past year. Come ready with your own questions for the panelists, and join us in a discussion on how well the Gillard Government is performing and what might happen in Australian politics over the next 12-24 months. Participants: Amanda Vanstone and University of Adelaide academics Carol Johnson, Wayne Errington and facilitator Clement Macintyre. WHEN: 5.30-6.30pm Tuesday 13 September
WHERE: Horace Lamb Lecture Theatre, North Terrace Campus, University of Adelaide
