2026 Lowy Institute Media Lecture: Dennis Richardson AC
At the 2026 Lowy Institute Media Award dinner, former ambassador and intelligence chief Dennis Richardson AC traced five decades at the sharp end of government-media relations, from running the Commonwealth's first media monitoring unit in 1972 to advising ambassadors on when to dodge the cameras. He's blunt on AUKUS and the government's reluctance to sell it, sharper still on what he sees as media silence in the face of rising anti-Semitism after the Bondi attack, and unsparing about a public service he says too often confuses self-censorship for prudence.

Lowy Institute debate: Does AUKUS strengthen Australia's security?
Two prominent Australian strategists from opposite sides of the defence debate discuss the AUKUS partnership.
Jennifer Parker makes the case that AUKUS is vital for Australian security and that the nuclear-powered submarines will be delivered.
Sam Roggeveen argues that AUKUS is unachievable and unnecessary.
The debate features opening statements from each speaker, followed by a moderated discussion led by Lowy Institute Research Director Mihai Sora, and concludes with an audience Q&A.
