In Conversation with Troy Bramston and Michelle Grattan
The John Howard Prime Ministerial Library and Museum of Australian Democracy held ‘In Conversation with Troy Bramston and Michelle Grattan’ on Tuesday 1 June 2022 at Old Parliament House. Troy discussed his new book, Bob Hawke: Demons and Destiny, the definitive full-life biography of Australia's 23rd prime minister; the only one that Hawke cooperated with after exiting the prime ministership. Troy’s Hawke biography is based on an exclusive series of interviews with him - the last that he gave - as well as unfiltered access to his extensive trove of personal papers. It features new interviews with more than 100 people who knew and worked with Hawke, including The Honourable John Howard OM, AC, whom Hawke faced at the 1987 Australian Federal Election. The audience enjoyed an evening of insights and excellent company.
