In the week of the coronation of King Charles III - Australia's undemocratic, unrepresentative and non-elected Head of State - Craig Foster will explore the meaning of contemporary Australian identity, social and cultural changes since the 20th century, lessons from the 1999 Referendum, advances in historical understanding leading to a powerful national movement of truth-telling and reconciliation, and why it is time for Australia to commit to true democracy and equality and walk both together and alone as a Republic.
Craig Foster is Co-Chair of the Australian Republic Movement and is one of Australia’s most respected sportspeople as a broadcaster, social justice advocate and human rights campaigner.
Light refreshments will be provided after the lecture in the Kambri Centre foyer bar.
