UPCOMING RAMSAY EVENT
Welcome to Oz – Immigration 1788-2100
Event fully booked.
Today some 30 per cent of Australia’s population was born overseas, double the proportion in the US and the UK. How has Australia managed to add so many people so quickly and still maintain social cohesion? And how might our immigration mix change in the decades ahead?
Join us for our first Ramsay Event for 2025, where we will examine the critical role immigration has played in Australia’s development and how it is likely to continue to define us in the 21st century.
Leading social commentator and demographer Bernard Salt and eminent historian and journalist James Curran will discuss changes to our demography, and the political and cultural history of Australian immigration, from the gold-rush, to Federation, to the post-war era, to today. Bernard Salt will deliver the main address while James Curran will provide additional insights.
Event details: Wednesday 19 February 2025,
5:30 registration for 6pm start
The Mint, 10 Macquarie Street Sydney
