John Pilger
[Steve Parry] Now we are racing towards the end of the evening, we just have a speaker and a performance to go so I’m just gonna race right on. Without further ado, I’d like to introduce our next speaker who is someone who really needs no introduction for you all, he’s a journalist, writer and documentary filmmaker who has produced, it’s not understatement to say, some of the finest political documentaries I’ve ever seen. His reports and films on Vietnam, Cambodia, and his home country of Australia, they’ve won awards all over the world so it’s a massive honour for us that he’s joining us tonight. So please put your hands together and welcome John Pilger. Hello John.
