The latest publication of the PM Glynn Institute provides a powerful account of the Liberal Party’s approach to Indigenous affairs, and outlines effective approaches to a number of pressing issues.
Earlier this month, the PM Glynn Institute's latest publication Buraadja: The Liberal Case for National Reconciliation by visiting fellow Senator Andrew Bragg was launched at Berkelouw Books by NSW Premier the Hon. Gladys Berejiklian.
The PM Glynn Institute launched in 2016 and its work focuses on public policy for the common good. It strives to provide the Catholic community with a standing capacity to analyse public policy issues of concern not only to the Catholic Church and its services, but to the wider Australian community.
Buraadja: The Liberal Case for National Reconciliation is important to ACU because it strengthens the Institute and the university’s commitment to encouraging a discussion about the future of Indigenous public policy-making in Australia. Eminent film director, Rachel Perkins, praised the book, noting that it provides a pathway to complete the unfinished business.
Senator Bragg was very forthright in his appreciation of ACU’s work in this area. In his remarks, he stated, “The ACU has done more of the serious policy work in this area than any other institution and the only way you’re going to win a referendum, ultimately, is if non-Indigenous people spend some time thinking about these issues.”
Vice-Chancellor Professor Zlatko Skrbis was also in attendance and offered a vote of thanks. He paid tribute to Senator Bragg and the work of the Institute.
“As a visiting fellow of the Glynn Institute, Senator Bragg has made an important contribution to our efforts to rethink what reconciliation means in 21st century Australia... The Institute did not commission this book in order to tell people how to resolve problems in Indigenous affairs. It commissioned the book in order to encourage people to think for themselves about how this might be achieved, and why good solutions might resonate with liberal values,” he said.
