6 – 7 SPACE Tuesday & Duration: 1 hr 10 mins SEPTEMBER THEATRE Wednesday 7.30pm Suitable: all ages Adelaide Festival Centre and Th e Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre at UniSA present KEYNOTE australian LECTURE imagining ourfusion:eurasian future 9 Many describe the 21st century as the Asian Century. China is already Australia’s largest export market and our economic prosperity is also inextricably tied to the dynamic Asian economies of India, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Indeed, Australia hardly faltered during the GFC, buoyed by the voracious Chinese demand for minerals and energy. But strategically and socio–politically, how comfortable is Australia today within Asia? Do we align ourselves too closely to the United States and Western Europe whose markets, culture and institutions dominate our headlines and our consciousness? How serious are we about including more of our own diverse Asian population in our parliaments, our boardrooms, our judiciary, our media and our sporting teams? What might be Australia’s place in Asia as the region surges in economic, strategic and cultural power? And what might be Asia’s place in Australia, such that we may enjoy continuing prosperity, peace, optimism and a sense of belonging? This address will probe the potential of a Eurasian-minded future for Australia – a conﬁ dent, expansive and inclusive future for all – if we are prepared to embrace it.
