Poverty, like property of the wealthy, can be handed down through generations from parent to child. In this inaugural Hugh Stretton Oration, Professor Davis will focus on the role and expectations of charities and government in addressing inter-generational poverty in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. He will discuss policies and practices, including pragmatic and innovative approaches, that might temper entrenched poverty. This policy melting pot is something to which Hugh Stretton who preferred pragmatism over ideology, experimentation over economic orthodoxy, would have been attracted.

Professor Davis is the author of a new book, also titled Ìýpublished by HachetteÌý ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥.
