Reclaiming Democracy Together Launch

[Completed. This event is over now.]

📅 Sat, 09 May 2026

🕕 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm

📍 Location: Online

Democracy is in trouble. Not just in one country, not only in one region. Institutions are strained. Trust is eroding. Public discourse is coarsening. Yet Australia is well placed to meet this moment not as spectator, but as participant in democratic renewal.

On 9 May 2026, we gather to launch Reclaiming Democracy Together — an ambitious seven-year project. The aim: to rethink and revitalise democratic life in Australia, and beyond.

It's live in the Melbourne Town Hall, but also available online.

Top-notch speakers include:

  • Francesa Albanese
  • Professor Mark Rose
  • Natalie Kyriacou OAM
  • Wendy Brown
  • Gillian Triggs
  • John Keane
