Featuring

Described as ‘the man who explains us to ourselves’, Hugh Mackay is a social psychologist and the bestselling author of twenty-five books, including The Way We Are and The Kindness Revolution. He had a sixty-year career in social research and was for thirty years a weekly newspaper columnist. In recognition of his pioneering work in social research, he has been awarded honorary doctorates by five Australian universities and in 2016 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia.

Richard Morecroft is one of Australia’s most respected media figures, best known for 20 years of presenting TV News for the ABC and more recently hosting the quiz show “Letters and Numbers” on SBS. But he also has a long-standing focus on the visual arts as an interviewer, writer and exhibitor – and he is a past Board member of the Bundanon Trust.
