Bob Brown in Conversation
Renowned Australian conservationist Bob Brown reflects on the people and places that continue to shape and motivate him, in this special Bendigo edition of The Fifth Estate conversation series.
Hear about his book, Defiance, and the challenges of safeguarding life on Earth – from hostile corporate lobbyists, to press propaganda to consumerism’s pull.
Bob brings his courage, warmth and humour to the Bendigo stage to ultimately uplift and inspire a new wave of individual and collective action.
