The 2019 Oration will be delivered by the Honourable Simon Birmingham, Senator for South Australia, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment.

This year’s Oration The New Divides, a Century Later will be delivered by Senator the Honourable Simon Birmingham, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. 100 years after Alfred Deakin’s death, Simon Birmingham will assess the modern-day demarcation lines as they apply across contemporary politics and global trade.
