ASPG Annual Conference
The ASPG holds an Annual Conference hosted by the Australasian parliaments on a rotational basis.
The 2023 Annual Conference was held from 27 to 29 September 2023 at the Parliament of Western Australia. The conference explored the privilege of Freedom of Speech, Debate and Information—a bedrock principle underpinning democracies, and ensuring the independence and effectiveness of parliaments in the Westminster tradition.
The 2024 Annual Conference was held from 2 to 4 October 2024 at the New Zealand Parliament and explored the theme of Parliamentary Resilience in an Ever-Changing World. The 2025 Annual Conference will be held from 1 to 3 October 2025 at the Parliament of South Australia. The topic is Modern Parliaments: Changing Roles, Expectations & Challenges. |
