The Menzies Research Centre has decided to name a lecture after Hon John Howard AC, Prime Minister of Australia (1996-2007). The lecture will be held annually and will feature a distinguished Australian or international thinker to present a thought provoking, topical address dealing with issues of current and future importance to Australia’s prosperity and security. The lecture will take place in a different capital city each year. We hope that the lecture will become one of the great annual events on the Australian policy and political calendar.
