Melbourne Writers Festival – Australia's First President

Exhibitions

If Australia finally cut ties to the tiara and became a republic, what would the maiden address of our first president sound like? Lend an ear to speculative speeches from Father Rod Bower, Marcia Langton, Nakkiah Lui, Omar Musa and Matt Preston. Hosted by Michael Williams.
