Vital Issues Seminars and Parliamentary Library Lectures
The Vital Issues Program is a series of seminars organised by the Parliamentary
Library for the benefit of Senators and Members. The aim of the seminar
program, which has been running since 1986, is to bring notable speakers
to the Parliament to give Senators and Members and their staff the opportunity
to hear, first hand, expert opinion on a range of currently relevant topics.
Seminar recordings are available to Senators and Members free of charge.
