What a night! Our goal was to recognise the important work of Dymocks Children’s Charities and champion children’s literacy, and we did it in style at The Great Debate Gala 2023! It was our biggest and most impactful gala yet. Thanks to the generous support of our guests and sponsors, The Great Debate raised $431,900 which will be transformative in delivering books and literacy programs for disadvantaged children across Australia.

Congratulations to all our debaters Adam Spencer, Candice Fox and Dominic Knight and our winning negative team – Rachel Spratt, Tony Burke and Rob Carlton who hilariously convinced the crowd that the world does not need more celebrity memoirs.

A special thank you to our event sponsors - The Phillips Foundation, Bdynamic Logistics, Yangaro, Dymocks, Top Print, Patons and Telegram Co.

We are already looking forward to next year’s Great Debate!
