member of the celebrated Wallis Inquiry, he was at the
forefront of financial market reform in Australia.
After a 25-year academic career, which included 16 years

Ian is an active member of his local Anglican

both the business and the academic
community.”

About the
Tasmanian Parliamentary
Prayer Breakfast
The breakfast began in 2006 and was initially held in the
Parliamentary Dining Room at Parliament House with
around 75 in attendance. In 2008 it moved to the Hotel
Grand Chancellor with 220 people in attendance.
The aim of the breakfast is to network political, business,
Church and community leaders together from across the
state to bring hope to Tasmania.
The goals of the breakfast are:
1
To encourage, support and resource parliamentarians,
business, community and church leaders in their
community leadership;
2 Tobuilding
build vision, and co-operation in capacity
the state of Tasmania to reach its God
given potential
3 To pray for this state and its people
4 And,
to encourage leaders in connecting
with others to see their region reach its
God given potential
The breakfast is part of the Awakening movement and the
unique moment in 1988 when a collaboration of senior
Christian parliamentarians, heads of churches, respected
Christian indigenous leaders and other community leaders
linked arms with 50,000 others at the National Prayer
Gathering in Canberra.
