The H.V. Evatt Memorial Foundation is an Australian think tank founded in memory of Australian politician, judge, historian and diplomat H. V. Evatt. It is a progressive organisation dedicated to the development of ideas, research, discussion and debate, and is linked to the Australian Labour movement. The Evatt Foundation is an Australian organisation based in Sydney, with members and supporters from around the world. ==History== The Evatt Foundation was established in 1979 as a memorial to Dr Herbert Vere Evatt with the aim of advancing the ideals of the labour movement, such as equality, participation, social justice and human rights. The Foundation helps to promote these ideals through research, publications, public discussion and debate. In the Great Hall of Sydney University, the Evatt Foundation was launched before a very large audience of loyal supporters. Gough Whitlam, Bob Hawke, Bill Hayden, Neville Wran, Manning Clark and Faith Bandler made great inspirational speeches. To encourage the Foundation to pursue its objectives, major grants were given by the NSW government, the Tasmanian government and other public and private organisations, including trade unions and business enterprises. From 1984 to 1999 the Foundation received an annual grant from the Commonwealth government. The Evatt Foundation has established a prominent public profile through its public education program of seminars, conferences and publications. A major reason for the success of the Foundation over the years has been the support of a very loyal membership base. On 23 August 2007, in the lead-up to the Sydney meeting of APEC, former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating gave a public lecture organised by the Evatt Foundation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evatt Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
