TABLE SCRAPS: THE PARTY'S OVER?
THE REALIGNMENT OF AUSTRALIA’S POLITICAL SYSTEM
TUESDAY 7 JULY / 6.00PM

Some of the best conversations happen around a dinner table. A casual comment becomes a challenge, someone says the thing everyone else is thinking, and suddenly the whole table is leaning in.

For the July edition of Table Scraps, we're tackling Australia's increasingly fractured political landscape. Why are more voters turning to independents and minor parties? Is a shift to the right inevitable? How did we get here, and where might we be heading?

Hosted by Rachel Withers (host of 3RRR's Spin Cycle and acclaimed writer), this month's guests include:

• Monique Ryan - Independent MP for Kooyong
• Osman Faruqi - political journalist and co-host of Lamestream podcast
• Kos Samaras - former Victorian Labor strategist and pollster
• Plus one final guest to be announced

This isn't a panel. It isn't a lecture. And it's definitely not an echo chamber.

It's a conversation about politics, power, and the future of Australia, and you're invited to pull up a chair.

Come for dinner. Stay for the argument.

BEN ABRAHAM SINGING SONGS

Only a week away until Ben Abraham is here at the Ballroom.

We’re really looking forward to welcoming Ben back to Melbourne for his annual songs-at-a-piano show next week. These nights always feel a little special; just Ben, a piano, some stories, and a room full of people who love great songs.

This year, he’ll be sharing some brand new music, a few stories from the road, and some exciting news he’s been waiting to share.

THE HOUSING ARGUMENT, SERVED HOT!

Some of the best conversations are had at the dinner table. Table Scraps dives into the housing debate: rents, supply, density, and who housing is really for.

Hosted by Dylan Bird, four guests with different POV sit down to talk it out:
Jordan Van Den Lamb (Purple Pingers), Jacob Caine (REIV), Dr Kate Raynor (Per Capita / One Engage), and Katie Roberts-Hull (YIMBY).

This isn’t a panel. It’s a dinner party where the argument is the main course.
Come for dinner. Stay for the debate. Let's settle the bill.

Tiered tickets are available to make this conversation accessible to everyone. Free tickets are available for mob and for people facing financial hardship.
