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.
