About us
This is a group for anyone interested in progressive thought, political ideas and discussion.
Australian political life is entering a new era. There is an urgent need for searching debate and new thinking. We invite you to attend our Melbourne based events with high profile speakers, including an opportunity for discussion followed by dinner and further deliberation at a local pub. It’s a great opportunity to meet engaged people, exchange ideas, and help advance a lively progressive debate.
The group is hosted by the Victorian branch of the Australian Fabians. The Fabians have been at the forefront of research and debate into progressive political ideas and public policy reform for over half a century.
We usually meet at the Melbourne Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St, Melbourne, Victoria 3000.
