AWW22 Grift, Lies and Influence - Fiona McLeod and Michael West

Chaired by Royce Kurmelovs


As we lurch from one scandal of misspent public money to the
next, transparency and accountability in public life have never
seemed rarer. Fiona McLeod is Chair of the Accountability Round
Table. Her book, Easy Lies and Influence, documents how community
interests have been undermined. Through his fiercely independent
news site, Michael West is known for following the money,
highlighting those corporations exercising insidious power over
our democracy. They ask: where have we gone wrong and what should
we do now?
