The event is on Saturday 10 December at the University of Tasmania Medical Science building (the Menzies Institute building) on the corner of Liverpool and Campbell Streets. It will begin at 6pm and light refreshments will be served after the lecture.

Richard Woolcott AC is a retired diplomat and author. He was Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade from 1988 to 1992. He was the last person to represent Australia on the United Nations Security Council and served as the President of the Security Council in November 1985. His experience gives him unique insight into the arguments for and against Australia’s bid for a seat on the UN Security Council.
