At a Fabian Society event on Saturday April 18 in Owen Glenn Building, Auckland University speakers Michael Cullen, Peter Harris, Sarah Helm, Anne Martin, Richard Harman, & Annie Newman will offer their thoughts on what will be needed for political strategy, economic policy, government formation under MMP, political communication and organisation if we are to reach the destination.
Plenty of room for discussion and chat afterwards. All interested welcome; please register here.
Any possibility it could be livestreamed to other centres if there are people in those centres willing to make the appropriate arrangements?
The same topic is being discussed in Wellington on 10 May, not sure if it’ll be the same speakers though:

The Fabians also tend to put up audio from their events as podcasts on their website.
Pretty sure I’ve registered for that. Hopefully I can actually make it.
If you want to build a progressive majority, try inviting brown people to the list of speakers
Good point.
I have also noticed a definite bias in favour of white people in commercial and other advertisements, as well as in fund raising campaigns for people, children etc in hardship/dire needs on TV, generally speaking. Am I wrong in my observation?
Yep pretty standard examples of lack of diversity in public life. Imperative for left to be embracing, inclusive.
Sir Michael if you dont mind….all done ..in the best possible..taste!
