SWF Live & Local: Barrie Cassidy & Friends: State of the Nation

A SWF Live & Local event live-streamed to Orange Regional Gallery Theatre, hosted by Orange City Library.
Barrie Cassidy assembles pundits Katharine Murphy, Niki Savva and Laura Tingle, to unpick the past year in Australian politics.
Relive all the thrills and spills of the year in Australian politics with veteran journo Barrie Cassidy and his hand-picked squad of the country’s sharpest pundits. From ScoMo’s secret ministries to the climate reckoning of the Teal wave and the verdict on Labor’s first year in office, it’s all up for dissection as they take the pulse of the nation. Barrie shares the stage with Amy Remeikis, Niki Savva and Laura Tingle.
