6. Vice-Chancellor Public Debate 2015
Join us to hear six public figures debate the ever contentious issue: ‘That we should privatise the ABC’.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has provided Australians with high quality and independent broadcasting since 1932. There is no doubt that the ABC has a special place in our hearts as our national broadcaster. But in today’s day and age, does the raison d’etre for the ABC still exist? Or has it become an unnecessary drain on the taxpayer dollar, one which the government and the Australian public should consider letting go?
The Monash Association of Debaters has the great pleasure of inviting you to the 2015 Vice Chancellor’s Public Debate.
The debate will be moderated by the Pro-Vice Chancellor – Professor David Copolov.
Date: Thursday 8 October, 2015
Time: 6pm
Venue: Clayton Campus Cinema
Entry is free and includes light refreshments. Refreshments will be served from 5:30pm
