InBrief

The convenors of the NSW Bar’s Rhetoric Seminar Series are honoured to announce that Mr Graham Freudenberg will be conducting the sixth seminar in the series, which will be entitled "20th Century political Rhetoric: Churchill, Menzies and Whitlam."

The seminar will be held in August but its precise date will be notified once the series is underway.

Mr Freudenberg is one of Australia’s foremost political speechwriters and he has written extensively on the subject of rhetoric in a political context. He was author of a number of landmark political speeches from the Whitlam and Hawke years. Some of these are among the most well known and often studied Australian political speeches such as Gough Whitlam’s 1972 campaign opening speech in the Blacktown Town Hall. His most recent�publication is A Figure of Speech (John Wiley & Sons).

This is another seminar in the series which is not to be missed.
