Thank you everyone who joined us for a fascinating lecture at our August Luncheon 🌌

We were delighted to welcome Dr Andrew Prentice, who shared his Modern Laplacian Theory (MLT), an updated model of solar system formation that builds on Laplace’s 1796 nebular hypothesis.

Dr Prentice explored how MLT predicts the physical and chemical properties of planets and satellites, with results supported by findings from NASA missions.

We look forward seeing many of you for our September Luncheon. Details coming soon.

What does a fair go really mean in Australia today?

At our June Monthly Luncheon, historian James Walter took us through the history of housing policy, from the post-war building boom to today's housing affordability crisis and explored how the decisions of past governments continue to shape life for younger generations.

One of the key takeaways was this:

"Because all the Western nations had to rebuild post-war, there had to be action at the state level, with government plans and funding. The post-war period that Boomers all benefit from was possible because of the focus on state action."

The presentation sparked a thoughtful discussion about housing, fairness, and what it will take to make home ownership more achievable for future generations.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and shared their perspectives.

We look forward to continuing the conversation at our next luncheon where Dr Andrew Prentice will talk about the Origin of our Solar System.
