Adelaide Festival: History's Rough Draft with Margaret Simons and Katharine Murphy

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 – Katharine Murphy (biographer of Anthony Albanese), Margaret Simons (Penny Wong and Tanya Plibersek), Sumeyya Ilanbey (Daniel Andrews), Chris Wallace and Margot Saville.
