Stan Grant: The Queen is Dead
Sat 6 May, 12pmThe Capitol
Queen Elizabeth came to the throne at the height of the British Empire and died with the world at a tipping point. Stan Grant’s timely new book, The Queen is Dead, considers how, in the wake of her passing, we might more fully reckon with our colonial past and redefine our future.
Grant appears in conversation with Anne Pattel-Gray about our place in the monarchy, the path to becoming a republic through the Voice to Parliament and beyond, and the necessity of a just settlement with First Nations people.
