Minority government and its implications were at the heart of the Institute of Public Administration Australia’s 2011 National Conference in Hobart on 25 and 26 August.

The conference provided a fantastic balance between keynote addresses, ‘Yes Minister’ hypotheticals, and expert Q&A panels. Prime Minister Julia Gillard delivered the annual Garran Oration – an oration named in honour of Australia’s first public servant and longest-serving Commonwealth department head, Sir Robert Garran.

Conference papers, presentations and selected footage are now available on this website.
