The Hon Barry Jones AO

Barry was the very energetic Minister for Science and Technology with the Hawke Labor Government. He was also Minister for Science and Minister for the Future. He's still one of the few people with a truly long-term vision for Australia and Australian communities - someone who continues to really shake Australians awake.

He is one of Australia's most respected politicians and public intellectuals and he's also a dynamic, charismatic and inspiring speaker.
