This year, Deakin Research and the Ecology and Environmental Change RPA is hosting another public discussion focussing on issues crucial to our future wellbeing: YES IT IS UNSUSTAINABLE BUT IT’S NOT MY FAULT.

The guest speakers will include the eminent Professor Peter Cullen, AO, FTSE, member of the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists.

Other speakers are Deakin’s own Dr Anne Wallis and Associate Professor Geoff Westcott.

Deakin’s Director of Research Services, Alison Hadfield, said: “Last year’s event, both for the live audience and for those listening around Australia on Radio National had a huge impact on the on-going debate over obesity in our community.

“This year will be no different as we address another crucial issue, the sustainability or otherwise of the way we are living in modern Western Society.

“I would like to invite as many people as possible to come along and hear what Professors Cullen and Westcott, as well as Dr Wallis have to offer.”

The discussion will be recorded for a later broadcast on ABC Radio National’s Life Matters program.
