The Australian Political Book of the Year Award recognises the vital part political books play in better understanding Australian politics and public policy – from thoroughly researched investigations into the scandals and upheavals that have shaped the nation to deep dives into the psyches of those who hold positions of power.
In this special event, 2024 Australian Political Book of the Year winner Chris Masters joins Walkley award-winning journalist Michael Bachelard to revisit Flawed Hero and discuss recent developments in the Ben Roberts-Smith case, before the highly anticipated shortlist for the 2025 Australian Political Book of the Year Award is announced.
