Where have all the Liberals Gone?
|
Hon. Fred Chaney AO
Alan Missen Memorial Dinner University of Melbourne, 13 August 2005. When the invitation to give this lecture was issued, I agreed because I was concerned
that liberal values seemed to have dropped out of the political debate and there was
a lack of debate on some important issues. Why the silence within the political
system about issues which once would have excited passionate attention from the
likes of Alan Missen? After a brief discussion about the invitation I accepted and
when asked to nominate a title opted for "Where have all the liberals gone?"

connection with personal information and Government, and the tension which arises
between privacy on the one hand and what is generically referred to as “the public
interest” on the other. 26 JUNE 2001
