TIPPING POINTS

Tipping Points. Everywhere, there are tipping points. Some need arresting. Others need starting, and some a push and tipping over: truth telling, earth caring, life protecting. It’s about recognition, democracy, freedom and freedoms.

Richard Browning | I Just Want to Make a Difference | Dirrum Festival #CBR20

Richard Browning speaks of his new book, I Just Want to Make a Difference: A Journey in Social Change Making. About the author: Originally a physiotherapist, now priest, Richard has always been a professional child. His chief work has been as father of three boys now men. His best work as school chaplain has been around a culture of engagement: Christian faith as movement towards greater humanity, not religiosity, and service as a means to discover and express humanity, not power. Apart from delighting in his role as priest/ pastor/storyteller/liturgist/coach/mentor among students, Richard’s most rewarding work pivots around Radford College’s values and ethos and how it might best honour God and serve the common good. - - - #dirrumfestivalCBR 2020 Tipping Points | 14-15 August 2020 Tipping Points.

Bernard Collaery | Time for Reform | Dirrum Festival #CBR20

Bernard Collaery describes the Australia he grew up in and the values he has identified with, loves and has faithfully served. What is Witness K guilty of? What is his legal representation guilty of? Why did Australia betray such a vulnerable, emerging and impoverished nation and for what? Profit? Collaery asks, 'where is the helium, why was it given away for free?' Why must the trial proceed behind closed doors? Collaery argues that our values and the instruments that safeguard civil society are under threat. This talk is extremely challenging: "Time for Reform". Collaery is an Australian solicitor and barrister who specialises in litigation in high-profile personal injury cases. Recently, he represented a witness in a case brought by the Timor-Leste Government against the Australian Government for the bugging of Timor-Leste cabinets during Timor Sea oil negotiations. Throughout his career as a solicitor, advocate, and politician, Bernard has been a fearless advocate for human rights. - - - #dirrumfestivalCBR 2020 Tipping Points | 14-15 August 2020 Tipping Points.
