The Committee for Adelaide, in partnership with MinterEllison, is proud to present the Ministerial Fireside Series; a program of exclusive conversations with South Australian Government Ministers for Committee members.
Throughout the series, members will hear directly from Ministers as they discuss their portfolios, priorities, and vision for South Australia, while sharing insights into the opportunities and challenges facing the state.
These candid discussions offer a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of government policy, decision-making, and the issues shaping South Australia’s future.
Ahead of each session, MinterEllison partners, led by Office Managing Partner Leah Wright, will provide context on the key issues and policy developments influencing the agenda, helping to frame an informed and engaging discussion. Committee for Adelaide Chief Executive Sam Dighton will then lead the conversation, with members invited to participate directly through questions and discussion with the Ministers.
