We organise competitions for people of all levels of experience and provide members with the opportunity to travel interstate and globally. We run one main debating competition each semester. You do not need to be a student to participate in our internal competitions. Involvement is a small time commitment, but can provide valuable skills for your studies or career. There is also a lively social a

spect to debating, with a tradition of post-debate drinks on Rundle. Email us at [email protected] to find out more or to join our mailing list.
