Malcolm Fraser symposium

Full recording of the symposium is now available online.

What does the record and legacy of the Fraser Government mean for today's Australia? After he left office, Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser's record came under attack from both sides of politics. The record of his government has been overshadowed by the Dismissal.

Now, 50 years after he was elected in a landslide, a two-day seminar will investigate whether Mr Fraser was, as some claim, a “true liberal”. Politicians, journalists, academics and community activists review and critique his record across human rights, foreign affairs, Indigenous affairs, the economy and more.

The symposium was co-hosted by the University of Melbourne Archives and Special Collections, Melbourne School of Government, and Trinity College, on 12-13 December at Trinity College, Parkville.
