Griffith In Asia

In consultations across the nation, Australians spoke of the need to have deeper engagement with the region. Authors, Professors Caitlin Byrne and Andrew O'Neil (Griffith University) explain those findings before discussing with Dr Tess Newton-Cain (Project Lead for the Pacific Hub at the Griffith Asia Institute) what this might actually look like. Dr Scott Blakemore moderates this discussion as an extension to the findings of the report where we seek to understand the challenges and complexities that confront Australia if they choose to work more closely with the region.
