Family and Children - 2008
Anne Manne - Love and Money
08/06/2008
What ever happened to the barbecue stopper? The term has made it into the dictionary. But the issue it originally described in 2002 remains rare on the back burner. The work-home bind stalks the modern family, and in particular women who carry the brunt of care. Can love and money strike a balance? Anne Manne considers the shadow economy, and what it might take to broaden the definition of equality to include dependency and the care of others.
The 2008 Manning Clark Lecture: Julian Burnside QC
23/03/2008
It is a lecture that packs some punch. And this year is no different. The ninth Manning Clark lecturer is controversial barrister and human rights advocate Julian Burnside QC. His running battle with the previous government was played out in our newspapers and broadcast media. In this lecture Burnside returns to those points of contention, which include anti-terror laws, children in detention, and compensation for the stolen generations. Hear a forthright case for the rule of law, not the rule of men.
