Bob Brown in Conversation [Bendigo]

The former leader of the Greens takes the stage in Bendigo to share stories from his decades-long career standing up to powerful interest groups that have put profit before planet.

In this special edition of The Fifth Estate in the heart of Bendigo, Bob Brown sits down to reflect on the people and places that have shaped him and shares what motivates him to keep fighting. He considers the challenges facing those who are dedicated to safeguarding life on Earth – from dealing with hostile corporate lobbyists, to press propaganda, to the powerful pull of consumerism – and shows how courage, persistence and community can defeat them all.

Drawing on decades of experience and told with his trademark warmth and humour, these stories will galvanise, uplift and inspire a new wave of individual and collective action. With host Sally Warhaft.
