Nick Cater function correction

Dear ,

Apologies, but my previous email was lacking all details and workable links, so I'm resending the text that you should have seen.

Pride and prejudice: how to turn policy into persuasion

You are invited to hear Nick Cater, author of The Lucky Culture and Executive Director of the Menzies Research Centre talk about how to sell policy - an important subject for a new think tank that intends to do just that.

It will also be an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded people in Brisbane and tell us what the Australian Institute for Progress should be doing.

About Nick

Nick is the Executive Director of the Menzies Research Centre.

He is a journalist and author and has been visiting Fellow at the Centre for Independent Studies. Cater is a former editor of The Weekend Australian and deputy editor of The Sunday Telegraph. He was born and educated in the United Kingdom and began his career at the BBC before moving to Australia in 1989 to join News Corp.

He edited The Howard Factor (Melbourne University, 2006) and wrote best-seller The Lucky Culture (HarperCollins, 2013) described by Prime Minister Tony Abbott as a: "…beautifully written and perceptive book [that] is a historical essay on Australia's public culture…it's a personal reflection by a refugee from Thatcherism, now born-again conservative, observed and analysed with a newspaperman's thoroughness".

Cater is a columnist with The Australian and a regular commentator on political and cultural affairs on radio and television.

Hope to see you there.

Kind regards,

Graham Young
Executive Director
Australian Institute for Progress
