2017 visit by Professor Joseph Lo Bianco, University of Melbourne

We co-hosted a visit in August 2017 by Professor Joseph Lo Bianco, University of Melbourne, principal author of the Australian National Languages Policy. 

The NZ visit was in partnership with the Royal Society, AUT University and Victoria University of Wellington. Professor Lo Bianco spoke at three public meetings and met with senior officials from a range of government departments to outline the value a national languages policy and to advise on a process towards developing such a policy.
