ASPI warmly invites you to attend the launch of its third special election report ‘Agenda for Change 2019: Strategic choices for the next government’.

This year the report contains over thirty short essays by leading thinkers covering key strategic, defence and security challenges, and offers short- and long-term policy recommendation as well as outside the box ideas that break the traditional rules.

This special election report will be launched by Dr Marcus Hellyer, Senior Analyst at ASPI and report editor, followed by a panel discussion with Peter Jennings, Executive Director of ASPI, Lisa Sharland, Head of ASPI’s International Program, and Karen Middleton, Chief Political Correspondent for The Saturday Paper. This will be followed by a moderated Q&A with the audience.

A drinks and canape reception will conclude the event.
