NSWCCL Berenice and Ken Buckley Dinner

The address topic is: HUMANS BEING HUMAN
Our dangerous ability to believe in silly nonsense while denying
awesome truth.

Speaker: Phillips Adams AO
Broadcaster, filmmaker, author, archaeologist and social commentator Phillip Adams was elected one of Australia’s 100 National Living Treasures in the inaugural poll conducted by the National Trust in 2006. For over 50 years his columns have provoked discussion and outrage. He is the author of over 20 books, the most recent of which is ‘Adams Verses God: The Rematch. Adams played a key role in the establishment of many important bodies including the Australia Council and the Australian Film Commission. Descibed by Robert Manne as ‘the most remarkable broadcaster in the history of this country, his ‘Late Night Live’ is Australia’s most successful ‘podcast’. He’s chaired Film Australia, the Australian Film Institute, the Commission for the Future and the National Australia Day Council - and chairs the advisory board of the Centre for
the Mind at Sydney University and The Australian Centre for Social Innovation. Honours include two Orders of Australia, the Human Rights Medal and four Honorary Doctorates.

MC for the night is Rob McHugh, a regular performer on the Australian
comedy scene for the past 27 years. Rob currently teaches comedy and is working on his own television series which he will be hosting on SBS later this year.
