Welcome to the 24th Consilium conference. Consilium, a Latin word meaning counsel or deliberation, is an initiative of The Centre for Independent Studies – Australia’s leading independent public-policy think tank. Consilium has grown to become one of Australia’s most prestigious conferences. Over 3 days, leaders of business, politics, academia and the wider community will come together for intensive deliberation on major economic, social and cultural issues facing Australia. The conference promotes free choice, individual liberty, cultural freedom, and the open exchange of ideas, which exemplifies the CIS mission. We debate a wide range of policy ideas and intellectual arguments to help Australia remain a prosperous and free nation.
