The location of the breakfast

The location of the breakfast

Last week Nga and I attended a Macarthur BEC Breakfast but this breakfast was very different to most events we attend because it was actually run in the form of a Great Debate where the topic was ‘Is sustainability Sustainable’.

The debate was hosted by Adam Spencer who you probably know from Triple J, Good News Week and The Glasshouse. What you probably didn’t know is that Adam Spencer holds a first class honors degree in Pure Mathematics and is a hardcore debater. He was actually voted “Best Speaker in the World” at the World University Debating Championships. He is so passionate about debating that when the first speaker defined sustainability at the debate this morning Adam said that a debate definition is “dirty, sexy talk” to him. Nga and I took the chance to meet him afterwards to say hi and get a photo.
