ABOUT THE EVENT:

Trump's First 100 Days. Two authors in conversation on this moment in history. Bruce Wolpe, US political scholar and author of "What Trump's Second Term Means for Australia" and Nick Bryant, journalist and author of "The Forever War: America's Unending Conflict With Itself."

Due to the popular demand of the first sold out event, we're excited to announce an additional author event with Bruce Wolpe for What Trump's Second Term Means for Australia!

On Thursday 21st May at the Red Mill Distillery, Balmain, join Bruce Wolpe in conversation with Anna Funder for a joint discussion on Trump, America, Australia, and the world -- drawing on Funder's insights from Wifedom and Stasiland on retrograde forces that erupt, and Wolpe's on the eruption in America and the threat to us here.

Copies of What Trump's Second Term Means For Australia will be available for purchase at the venue through Roaring Stories, with Wolpe signing copies after the discussion

ABOUT THE VENUE

We are thrilled to announce a new addition to our lineup of venue partners for author events. Red Mill, located in the heart of White Bay, offers guests an exceptional experience within their distillery.

Red Mill is based in the historic White Bay Steelworks, just across from the inner-west icon, the White Bay Power Station. Red Mill makes small batches of high-quality Rum to age in a special barrel program, blended and bottled in their wonderful, industrial home. Visiting Red Mill is a chance to see the workings of an artisanal distillery, in the historic surrounds of this remarkable building. Refreshments available to purchase include wine, beer and a signature Red Mill cocktail. We look forward to welcoming you to this unique venue. For dinner options, attendees can head to The Welcome Hotel Rozelle.

Attendees are asked to arrive at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Seating is unallocated – another reason to arrive early to secure an optimal spot.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Australia's best-informed commentator on US politics provides a blueprint for Australia for Trump's second term.

Leading expert and US and Australian politics insider Bruce Wolpe reveals the many ways in which Australia has already been damaged by Donald Trump. Seeping into Australia from above and below, Trumpism has contaminated public debate, emboldened local political and religious extremists, diminished Australia's economy and international relations—and much more.
