Join Barrie Cassidy for a conversation on the state of the nation over an intimate two-course dinner at Port Phillip Estate.
Barrie Cassidy is one of Australia’s most recognised and respected political journalists. From serving as Bob Hawke’s press secretary to creating and hosting the ABC’s Insiders and co-hosting the Guardian’s popular podcast Back to Back Barries, he has had his finger on the political pulse of the nation for more than three decades.
Settle in over a special two-course meal at Port Phillip Estate where Cassidy will be joined by The Wheeler Centre CEO Erin Vincent to reflect on the career, people and moments that have shaped his life in politics and journalism – and to offer his trademark clear-eyed analysis on the forces shaping Australia’s political landscape today.
