Opening Night: The Purpose of Public Debate – David Marr at Mildura Writers Festival

On our opening night, Shokoofeh Azar, Debra Dank, and David Marr engage in a lively conversation about the importance and dangers of public debate. They analyse the increased policing of speech in our culture, ask what role a public forum should play, and consider what and who we mean by ‘public’. They might even disagree! Moderated by Michael Winkler.
