About

Having trouble keeping up with what's happening today? Politics in the Pub will bring you talks on the key social issues currently facing Australians. Speakers, ideally actively engaged in the issues on which they speak, will be recruited from across greater Ballarat. The 30 minute talk will be followed by an audience Q&A. Come along and join us as we socialise and tussle with the big issues of our time over a drink and/or meal. This event is free.
