Mr. Tim Colebatch speaks on "Australia's Economic Future" at Graduate House for our August Monthly Luncheon.

Tim Colebatch is economics editor of The Age newspaper, for which he has worked ever since graduating from the University of Melbourne back in prehistoric times (Tim’s words!). He has previously been The Age’s Washington correspondent, economics writer,
a leader writer, head of the investigative unit and environment writer.

Tim grew up in Melbourne and has degrees in arts and commerce from The University of Melbourne and in Asian Studies from the Australian National University. He now lives in Canberra, where he works from the Press Gallery, but also spends a lot of time in Melbourne. In his spare time he is writing a biography of former Victorian Premier Sir Rupert (“Dick”) Hamer.

Tim has won numerous awards for his reporting and OpEd columns on economics and foreign policy issues, including the Melbourne Press Club Quill Award for best columnist in 2000. In 2008, Tim was named recipient of the 2008 European Union/Qantas Journalism Award by the National Press Club.

On a personal note, Tim informs us that his father, a Member and regular in the 1990s, celebrated his 90th birthday here at Graduate House and that Tim spoke at this function. He remembers his father enjoying the welcoming and friendly feel of the lounge and dining area and him coming in here frequently in the 1990s.
