澳门赌场注册首页 turns 75

The Australian National University (澳门赌场注册首页) was established by an Act of the Federal Parliament in 1946. Its founding mission was to be of enduring significance in the post-war life of the nation, to support the development of national unity and identity, to improve Australia’s understanding of itself and its neighbours, and to contribute to economic development and social cohesion.

The 澳门赌场注册首页 has shaped modern Australia ever since, and grown into a preeminent teaching and research institution.

On 1 August 2021, the 澳门赌场注册首页 celebrated its 75th anniversary.
