A panel of historians and public policy experts unpack Gold Standard? Remembering the Hawke Government, offering a thoughtful reflection on the policies, personalities and legacy of the Hawke era - and considering what lessons it may still hold for reformist government today.

Panellists include book Editors:

Professor Frank Bongiorno AM: Historian, University of Canberra.
Associate Professor Carolyn Holbrook: Historian, Deakin University.

Together, they will reflect on how its legacy continues to influence Australian society - from economic reform and media strategy to social justice and gender policy. They will also examine the era’s limitations, particularly in relation to First Nations outcomes and the less-celebrated experiences that followed.

The discussion will be facilitated by Hugh White AO, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies, Australian National University.
