A war (the term is used purposely) is being waged around the world to try and protect wildlife and our remaining natural areas. At the frontline of this war, 1000 rangers have been killed in 10 years, 70% by commercial poachers. 200,000 elephants have been killed for ivory since 2009, and many more species including lions, leopards, tigers and pangolins are being slaughtered.

$When Words Fail Us: Truth Beyond Time with Stan Grant AM (6pm Session) Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre In this special in-conversation event, Distinguished Professor Stan Grant AM reflects on his latest book When Words Fail Us, Truth Beyond Time, in discussion with Director and Writer Professor Wesley Enoch AM. One of Australia’s most compelling voices on identity, nationhood and belonging, Grant explores how we speak to one another in fractured times - and whether listening, silence and philosophy might offer another way forward. Drawing on thinkers from Plato to Simone Weil, and even Radiohead, this conversation offers a thoughtful evening of ideas, reflection and generous dialogue. I am out of words at home. I have grown bored with my language, bored with my voice, bored with my writing. My words labour under the weight of Australia’s history. The land itself, as much as I love it, bears down hard. Now in another place, I am finding lighter words. At times, I may not need to speak at all. I smile; I nod. I seek permission to speak. Please, do you mind? Will you allow me?
