In the morning at Government House, the Governor of Tasmania, the Honourable Barbara Baker, and Emeritus Professor Don Chalmers hosted a morning tea to mark the 40th anniversary of A Fairer World.

During her term, the Governor has welcomed many Tasmanian community groups who are celebrating significant events or important milestones to Government House to enjoy morning or afternoon tea.

From netball and garden clubs to historical societies and charities, members of community groups from across the State have joined the Governor for refreshments and Professor Chalmers for a guided tour of the State Rooms.

Today, as Patron of A Fairer World, the Governor was delighted to host a morning tea to mark the organisation’s 40th anniversary.

Speaking to guests, the Governor congratulated staff and volunteers on their work towards creating a fairer, kinder and more inclusive world through Hobart Human Library programs in schools and workplaces.

The Governor also thanked the ‘human books’ who make up the library for sharing their stories, and wished A Fairer World well as it continues to amplify the voices of inclusion and belonging.
