Melbourne Writers Fest Brings the Politics

The Melbourne Writers Festival is set to be held 22-31 August. Heading up the awesome line-up will be some great political speakers including Germaine Greer and John Pilger.

Greer will speak on rage and its uses in enacting social change on Friday 22 August at 7pm at Melbourne Town Hall. Pilger will address two talks; one on Power, Propaganda and the Silence of Writers, and the other on the global cost of free trade.

There is also talks on feminism, Aboriginal affairs, Rwandan genocide, corporate media, climate change and plenty more.

So if you're around Melbourne in late August, it will be definitely worth a look. Stay tuned to the MediaVIGILANTE for all the updates from the fest!
