Barrie Cassidy: An Election Special

RMIT Adjunct Professor and political journalist veteran Barrie Cassidy will lead a panel of distinguished political experts and commentators to discuss the upcoming Federal election.

As Australia approaches a federal election, critical questions dominate the national agenda: How can the cost-of-living and housing affordability crises be addressed? What actions will our leaders take to tackle climate change? What is Australia's role in a world beset by armed conflict and rising populism? 

Join RMIT Adjunct Professor Barrie Cassidy, acclaimed political journalist and former host of ABC's Insiders, as he leads a panel of commentators and experts in a compelling discussion of these pressing issues. The conversation will delve into the prospects of a hung parliament, the implications of a minority government and the evolving political landscape shaped by economic, environmental and global challenges. 

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from Cassidy and the panel before the nation heads to the polls. 

Presented by RMIT Culture in partnership with The Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas.
