Defiance [Kooyong] - Bob Brown at Melbourne Writers Festival

Join Bob Brown at Vision Australia Library for a fireside chat, as he reflects on reasons for optimism, the irreplaceable beauty and value of nature and a lifetime of activism.

For half a century, Bob Brown has been a fearless environmentalist and social justice campaigner – and a thorn in the side of those who would put profits before planet. Now, he shares his bold new book, Defiance: Stories from Nature and Its Defenders.

Part memoir, part manifesto, part practical handbook for individual and collective action, Defiance lays out why it’s more important than ever to fight for environmental and land justice. Join Brown at Vision Australia Library for a fireside chat, as he reflects on reasons for optimism, the irreplaceable beauty and value of nature and a lifetime of activism. With Kate Mildenhall.
