Wednesday 20 March 2024
7.30pm – 9pm

Keynote Speaker: Greg Sheridan
Foreign Editor, The Australian Newspaper and Author

Greg Sheridan is The Australian’s Foreign Editor. His most recent book, Christians, the urgent case for Jesus in our world, became a best seller weeks after publication. It makes the case for the historical reliability of the New Testament and explores the lives of early Christians and contemporary Christians.

He is one of the nation’s most influential national security commentators, who is active across television and radio, and also writes extensively on culture and religion. He has written eight books, mostly on Asia and international relations. A previous book, God is Good for You, was also a best seller.

When We Were Young and Foolish was an entertaining memoir of culture, politics and journalism and traces his determined personal journey from an underprivileged but emotionally rich childhood, with strong memories of growing up Catholic in Australia. From his early years at the seminary including his time at Galong in our Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, through to political stoushes at university, his early days as a union organiser and then the heady intellectual times as one of Australia’s leading writers in The Bulletin and now The Australian.

As Foreign Editor, he specialises in Asia and America. He has interviewed Presidents and Prime Ministers around the world. In 2016 he was appointed an Officer (AO) of the Order of Australia.
