Anne Summers Conversations kicks off with our first female PM, Julia Gillard - in Sydney and Melbourne.

AnneSummers Reports presents

A very special night — her first public appearance since her gracious farewell speech on 26 June. I invite you to a very special evening with Julia Gillard, who will talk with me about her time in office and what it was like being the first woman to lead our country. It will be our first chance to see and hear Ms Gillard since she left the Prime Ministership in June this year. I am sure we all remember her dignified farewell speech that evening. Now, we will be able to see for ourselves how she is faring post politics. Ms Gillard has agreed to a candid and wide-ranging conversation, and will answer questions from the audience. It promises to be an unforgettable evening. Julia Gillard is the inaugural guest of my new project, ‘Anne Summers Conversations’, one-on-one interviews with well known people who have featured in my online magazine, Anne Summers Reports. Julia Gillard has generously agreed to donate her time to help launch this project. Join Julia Gillard and me for this very special event.
