Sally Warhaft joins editor and author Esther Anatolitis and economist and executive director of The Australia Institute Richard Denniss for a special edition of The Fifth Estate as part of Readings’ A Day in Carlton.
Anatolitis’s new work, When Australia Became a Republic, examines the key moments in our emergence as a republic, and maps out new paths to securing legitimate independence for a more honest society. Denniss’s latest book, Dead Centre: How Political Pragmatism is Killing Us, explores the contradiction between centrism and evidence that sits at the heart of democratic debate in Australia.
Together, they will explore how political imagination, civic courage and principled leadership can help us reimagine Australia’s democratic future.
The Readings pop-up bookshop will be open at this event. Drinks will be available for purchase at the bar.
Presented in partnership with Readings
