The Australia Institute - How to Change a Country: A handbook for making the impossible inevitable

The Australia Institute and Gang Gang bring you an event all about How To Change a Country. Come along to read, hear from the authors and ask your burning questions.

How it works:Tickets include a copy of the book How To Change a Country: A handbook for making the impossible inevitable. The first hour of the evening will be time to quietly read the book.

Following this is a conversation with the authors Richard Denniss and Bill Browne where they will talk about the different sections of the book, discussing what it looks like to repeat yourself creatively, build unlikely alliances and exploit your opponents’ contradictions, and why having the courage of your convictions is critical to success. There will be plenty of time for questions from the audience.

Throughout the evening, you can bring any burning questions to our “ask an economist” table, where Australia Institute Senior Economist Matt Grudnoff will be answering any questions that you might have.
