Testimonials
“The Sydney Institute is in the forefront of public discussions and public debate.”
Julia Gillard AC, 27th Prime Minister of AustraliaThe Sydney Institute – a no-nonsense, downtown venue for all credible points of view on Australian politics, history and culture. It leaves ideology at the door, and its podcasts guarantee a hearing the length and breadth of the country.
Frank Brennan SJ AO, Prof. of Law - Australian Catholic UniversityIt’s not every day that I’m invited by such a prestigious organisation as The Sydney Institute to talk about Australians and their behaviour. So I sincerely thank the Institute for this irresistible opportunity.
