15.01.2022 Congratulations, newly minted Dr Karen Middleton - so well deserved! Karen was the 2016 Henry Parkes Orator (read her speech here https://parkesfoundation.org.au/2016-oration/). She will also be facilitating discussion after our upcoming 2020 Oration, to be delivered by Professor Mark Kenny on Monday 19 October. Onsite at Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, or livestreamed from 6pm. https://www.moadoph.gov.au/parkes2020/

14.01.2022 Have you registered yet? This coming Monday, 19 October. If you can't make it to Canberra at Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, register to join the livestream.

09.01.2022 Good summary in The Conversation yesterday: "After 120 years, Australians take federation as a given. But had it not been for Parkes, Australia would probably not have become a nation in 1901, and the system of government we have today might well be very different." As a visionary pragmatist, or pragmatic visionary, he may have been intrigued by the current 'National Cabinet' too.

06.01.2022 Why looking back is the only way forward. What have we learned about ourselves as a nation in this most extraordinary year? Distinguished journalist and academic Mark Kenny offers some insights into COVID-19, the Federation and the chance of genuine reconciliation, in the 2020 Henry Parkes oration, streamed live from the Museum of Australian Democracy, 6pm 19 October 2020. Free but registration essential.

03.01.2022 So pleased to help support MoAD's digital learning team expand their work - and not just because of the lockdown. It's a great way to engage and inform young citizens no matter where they live, empowering them to use their voice and actively participate in democracy. You too can make a tax-deductible donation - every little bit counts! https://www.moadoph.gov.au/about/support-us/ #LearningFromHome Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House
