Benalla Library is hosting an author talk by Scott Hamilton and Stuart Kelly, authors of "Sold Down the River". This event relates to BSFG's purposes, and you may be interested to attend. Please see the details below and in the flyer attached.
'Scott Hamilton and Stuart Kells, both experts in public policy, have interviewed irrigators, farmers, Traditional Custodians and water traders to tell this disastrous story. Their compelling expose brings to light how we have failed to protect our most precious natural resource.'

As you can imagine, a discussion about commodification of natural resources and water policy has the potential to become unconstructive. To keep the event on the rails, the interview questions will be focused on the research process from its beginning to publication, the contents of the book, and any updates since publication.

Time and Date: 10am to 11am on Saturday 22nd February 2025,
Venue: The Sir Edward ; 'Weary' Dunlop Learning Centre (Benalla Library).
