Evan Thornley to give UNE's Drummond Address for 2006
May 09, 2006
The publisher, businessman and political activist Evan Thornley will discuss the relationship between economic prosperity and a fair society when he delivers this year’s D.H. Drummond Memorial Address at The University of New England this week.
The lecture, at UNE’s Drummond and Smith College on Wednesday 10 May at 6 pm, will be the 16th annual D.H. Drummond Memorial Address. All members of the public are welcome to attend.
Mr Thornley (pictured here) was a founding member of the National Union of Students. He has gone on to be active in a variety of business and community interests. He is the co-founder and former CEO of the Internet search company LookSmart, and is the proprietor of Pluto Press. He has a law and commerce degree from the University of Melbourne, and is a member of that university’s Council.
Having joined the ALP in 1984, Mr Thornley is an endorsed ALP candidate for the Victorian Legislative Council for the 2006 election. He is also National Secretary of the Australian Fabian Society and a Board Member of the Brotherhood of St Lawrence, the ALP’s Chifley Research Centre, and www.getup.com.au, a new political movement to build a more progressive Australia. He has been very involved in the establishment of www.laborfirst.com.au, an ALP grassroots renewal movement.
Mr Thornley said he would be discussing "how Australia cannot have a fair society without economic prosperity, and how we also cannot have economic prosperity without a fair society". He will also focus on "how everyone in the community can play a role in doing something about these issues".
