On this episode of The Grapevine, Kulja and Dylan are joined by CEO of VCOSS Emma King to discuss the ad campaign ‘Let's get back to the good things’ that encourages vaccination in the community and analyses the efficacy of the Government's messaging.
Then, Guy Morton, one of the founders of Voices of Kooyong, a group seeking better political representation for their community, calls in to discuss their independent candidacy, what they’re doing in the lead-up to the election, and the issues their group is focused on.
And Canberra Writer Theodore Ell gets on the line to talk about his essay ‘Facades of Lebanon’ published in the latest issue of Australian Book Review which won the Fifteenth Calibre Essay Prize. Ell’s essay discusses his experiences in Lebanon witnessing political revolution, the pandemic, and an extraordinary explosion in Beirut that sent shockwaves around the world.
