If 50 is the new 40 and 40 is the new 30, is 20 in crisis?
The two teams will include prominent Monash students and alumni drawn from a diverse range of professions, including law, journalism, medicine and entertainment. The debate will be a lively and freewheeling occasion. It will have a similar style and format to the Comedy Debates where the aim is to entertain rather than to conduct a serious battle. The topic will be deliberately broad - with a loose association to university experiences and learning - giving the debaters the freedom to exercise their creativity and flair.
