The program is advertised as being 'democracy in action' and allows members of the audience to ask questions of the panel - this means I may have the opportunity to ask a question!
Im thrilled with this weeks panel line-up:
- Kate Grenville - Celebrated Australian author
- Don Watson - Former speechwriter for Paul Keating and distinguished writer
- Anna Funder - author of Stasiland
- Malalai Joya - Former Afghan parliamentarian and writer
- Omar Musa - Malaysian-Australian rapper and poet
Great hearing about the Melbourne Writers Festival and Q&A. Hope you get to ask a question. I will be watching the program.
ReplyDeleteHi Cara, I saw this on TV last night. It was breathtakingly intense and you are right such a good example of democracy in action. Everyone was eclipsed by Malalai Joya. Anyone who watched will remember this program and I hope it results in some positive change.
