Our April event should be a fascinating look at the political landscape in the USA. Michael Ondaatje, nationally recognised expert and media commentator on US politics will analyse what is going on in the US election;  not just Trump and Clinton, but Cruz and Sanders.  Michael will also examine the significance for US politics in the longer run; and how it may affect Australia.
