 Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome to 31 Bly Street. I'm Michael Fulilove, the Executive Director of the Institute and I'm delighted to welcome you all to this, the official reopening of 31 Bly Street. This building is open to the public. It's not limited to one section of the community. It is the spiritual home of the Lowy Institute, but it's also the national headquarters for discussions about Australia's place in the world. It's a great joy to us to be able to open the doors of this club and to welcome Australians in for these kinds of discussions and to welcome world leaders in as we did this morning. A beautiful job has been done by the team in renovating this building and restoring it to its magnificence. It's a pleasure for me to be here and to declare this building open. What is the Lowy Institute about is to bring the world to Australia and Australia to the world. All these things happening because this building is here and because we have such a lively, strong institute. We support it wholeheartedly because we believe in Australia. So we are here to talk about Australia, to be Australian and to promote Australia. And I'd like to thank you very much for coming here this evening and you can go back to Schwoesing. I think it's really a beautiful building and it fits the Lowy Institute and great meeting space. Good staff support here. I think it's a beautiful place. Congratulations to Lowy on his inauguration. I like the building. It's unique. It's pretty unique actually in Sydney and you won't go around the world as I have been and see too many other think tanks which have headquarters which are as central and as nice as these ones. This is a beautiful building and the renovation has been very faithful to its original condition. We still have poor keatings, lilac ceilings. We still have the frieze on the ceiling down in the lecture hall which we partially uncovered before we realised that we couldn't uncover it all but we've just left it there as a reminder of what was here originally a couple of hundred years ago. It's a gorgeous old building. I love working here.
