Uluru Statement and the end of history :
Friday 16 November 2018, Adelaide Convention Centre. To listen to the lecture, please click on the link at the foot of this record. Colour portraits on inside covers. In his Annual Hawke Lecture, journalist and Wiradjuri man Stan Grant argues that the Uluru Statement represents a chance to tell Australia's story anew, to tell the truth of a nation that has its roots tens of thousands of years before the landing of the First Fleet. He says the rejection of the Uluru Statement is a moment lost, a moment that could have completed Australian liberalism. It was a call for a final peace, to put to rest the stain on our soul and build an Australia for all. He says it is a moment lost but a dream still alive.--Publisher description.
