	The second session involves the six research leaders participating in four short debates on contemporary issues facing these institutions. The debates will involve active audience participation. It will be based loosely on parliamentary debate derived from the British House of Commons parliamentary procedure. The objective of this fast-paced panel debate session is to provide the audience with a light-hearted humorous conclusion to the Pearcey Round-table sessions. The panellists will have the opportunity to express an opinion for or against on a topic that they may not otherwise normally speak about. For entertainment purposes the topics are somewhat controversial and it is assumed the panellists argument for or against may not represent their personal point of view.
