The Fraser Oration was established in 2017 by the University of Melbourne, in memory of Malcolm Fraser, the 22nd Prime Minister of Australia.
The Fraser Oration provides an opportunity to explore matters of public and social interest in line with Malcolm Fraser’s vision for Australia, and more broadly his support for multiculturalism, universal democratic principles, human rights and free speech.
