Julia Gillard

Julia Gillard was Australia’s first female prime minister. Much has been said and written (already) about her three years at the top, but now she’s telling her side of the story –without shying away from her mistakes or misjudgements. Her leadership was tumultuous, action-packed, and controversial. But as notable as the controversy was her management of a hung parliament and the record amount of legislation passed during her term. In conversation with Andrew Scott this is your chance to hear the former prime minister open up about her experience with the distance that makes for insightful reflection – and candour.
