AWW23: History's Rough Draft - Sumeyya Ilanbey, Margot Saville & Chris Wallace

Chair: Steve Bracks

It is a truism that political memoirs are an invaluable first draft of history. Are political biographies equally unreliable and imprecise? Are living subjects more problematic than dead ones? Former Victorian Premier Steve Bracks explores the genre with some of Australia’s leading journalists – Sumeyya Ilanbey (biographer of Daniel Andrews), Chris Wallace and Margot Saville.
