Noel Pearson delivered the 2016 Keith Murdoch Oration at the Library last night, on the topic ‘Still hunting the radical centre: revisiting Daniel Patrick Moynihan 50 years later’. Watch here.
‘My interest is in the radical centre: this is the place where those in search of a better society might best hunt.’
