Dear ,

Editor and contributor William Coleman from ANU will launch his new book Only in Australia, a collection of essays by prominent Australian thinkers including Geoffrey Blainey, Henry Ergas, JR Nethercote, and Nick Cater.

Launch will be on September 14, 2016 at 6:00 for 6:30. To book click here.

The book explores the Australian difference and how Australia's economic and social policy has diverged from the approach of other countries.

Australia seems to be following a 'special path' of its own that it laid down more than a century ago. Australia's distinctive bent is manifested in a tightly regulated labour market; a heavy reliance on means testing and income taxation; a geographical centralization of political power combined with its dispersal amongst autonomous authorities, and electoral singularities such as compulsory and preferential voting.

Admission includes one free drink and a cash bar thereafter.

When: Wednesday September 14, 2016, starting at 6:00 pm
Where: The Alliance Hotel, 320 Boundary Street, Spring Hill, Q 4000
Cost: $15 non-members, $10 AIP (includes first drink)

Kind regards,
