La Trobe Presents

After the 2025 federal election, Australia has the most progressive parliament in recent memory. Perhaps ever. What are the game-changing ideas that Australia needs now? Is there a mandate for policy decisions that might safeguard Australia’s democracy, economy, environment and polity beyond the blip of the news cycle?

Leading thinkers and activists from all corners of Australia — Fiona Stanley, Thomas Mayo and Richard Denniss— offer fresh possibilities for our collective future. With participating host, La Trobe University historian and BWF Co-curator, Clare Wright.

In partnership with The Australia Institute.
