    Event description

    Australia has been a close ally of the United States since 1940, but what does this mean for contemporary politics when democracy is more fragile than ever?

    Donald Trump and his attacks on the US electoral system have raised red flags about the strength of American democracy. But in an age of disinformation and civic decline, signs of fragility are visible elsewhere, and Australia is no exception.

    Join Barrie Cassidy, one of Australia’s most experienced political correspondents and analysts, as he unpacks the far-reaching ramifications of this relationship across trade, security, foreign policy and beyond. He will examine whether it’s too late to steer Democracy back on course in this defining moment with the ‘battle for the soul of America’ due to play out at the US Election in only a matter of weeks.

    Following Barrie's presentation there will be a Q&A session, and drinks and canapés will be provided afterward. (Drinks can be purchased at bar prices)
