Former Australian PM Scott Morrison to speak at Oxford Union this Thursday

The Former Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, will give a talk at the Oxford Union this Thursday at 5pm.

The talk is part of a larger UK trip which included visits to think tanks and other speaker events. The AUKUS submarine deal is another focus of this trip. Morrison told The Financial Review that “these events will provide further opportunities to promote AUKUS in the UK” and emphasised the close links between Australia and the UK.

Morrison was PM from 2018-2022. His time in power was characterised by major flooding and forest fires in Australia, the COVID-19 pandemic and his support for Ukraine.

Outgoing Union President, Matthew Dick, told Cherwell “I am really excited to be bringing the members another brilliant opportunity to hear from and question a former leader of a commonwealth state. It’s a brilliant way to end the term”. The talk will take place in the Union chamber at 5pm this Thursday 15 June.
