Balance of Power

Panellists: Bob Brown and Rob Oakeshott (moderator TBC)

About session: In recent political history, the Australian Greens held the balance of power in the Senate and the ALP governed with the support of key independents. How has the Australian political landscape changed in recent years with more independents gaining seats?

Does this undermine stable government or bring much needed diversity into the political conversation?

Can minor voices be powerful agents of change?

Followed by book signing
