We warmly invite you to the online launch of Grattan’s 2020 Summer Reading List for the Prime Minister, in partnership with State Library Victoria.

Join our CEO Danielle Wood, with renowned journalist and broadcaster Geraldine Doogue, as we reveal our top six thought-provoking, diverse, and relevant books and articles from 2020. It’s been an extraordinary year, and these are extraordinary reads – not only for the Prime Minister, but for all Australians interested in public policy.

Danielle and Geraldine will be introduced by the CEO of State Library Victoria, Kate Torney. Plus, this year’s event will include special guest appearances by some of the selected authors.
