2025 ACT Heritage Oration

About
HERITAGE FESTIVAL EVENTPLEASE NOTE - YOU MUST BOOK FOR THIS EVENT
This year’s ACT Heritage Oration will be delivered by Bob Brown, a prominent Australian politician, medical doctor, and environmentalist. He is a former Senator, and former Parliamentary Leader of the Australian Greens. Having retired from politics in 2012, he dedicates his time to environment and human rights activism. He and his partner Paul Thomas set up the Bob Brown Foundation in 2012 to promote environmental awareness. Bob first came to national prominence when, in the late 1970s, as director of the Tasmanian Wilderness Society, he emerged as a leader of the campaign to prevent construction of the Franklin Dam, which would have flooded the Franklin River as part of a hydroelectricity project.
The Oration provides an opportunity for a prominent heritage leader and thinker to deliver an address aimed at raising awareness and stimulating discussion about the current state and future directions of heritage.
