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.
