The much-loved Fifth Estate series returns in 2023! On the last Tuesday of the month, join broadcaster Sally Warhaft and a range of guests from the world of politics, culture, journalism and international relations as they dissect pressing questions of policy, power and current affairs.

To kick off the Fifth Estate for 2023, Sally Warhaft is joined by Craig Foster, who has had a respected career as a Socceroos player and coach, sports broadcaster, and human rights activist, and was recently appointed as the new chair of the Australian Republic Movement. Together, they will discuss the future of the Australian Republic Movement and Australia’s place in the Commonwealth.

For in-depth insider analysis of current affairs, it doesn’t get any better than The Fifth Estate. This long-running series, hosted by Sally Warhaft, is a mainstay of the Wheeler Centre’s programme, and of public conversation in Melbourne.
