It’s 00:40 here in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, and a fierce gale is blowing (it’s winter). I’ve just enjoyed a couple of hours consuming pizza and beer – provided by the good people at AVfM, the conference organizers – with many people connected with the conference. In less than 10 hours’ time we’ll all be watching a talk by Mark Latham, ‘The Myth of White Male Privilege’. We’ll be posting that video (and all the others) on our YouTube channel in the coming weeks. In the meantime why not enjoy Bettina Arndt interviewing Karen Straughan – both of whom gave barnstorming talks at the conference today – on Mark Latham’s ‘Outsiders’ show (video, 1:00:45)?

If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
