Join us to celebrate the launch of The Making and Unmaking of East–West Link by James C Murphy.

This is the definitive account of a hotly debated political saga in Melbourne. Was it backlash? Or was it simply that opponents of the project succeeded by turning it into an election issue? In The Making and Unmaking of East–West Link, James C Murphy explores the saga from competing vantage points, detailing the layers of politics that saturate infrastructure policymaking in Australia.

Moderator: Kerry Ryan, Swinburne University

Panelists: Author James C Murphy, transport planner William McDougall and activist and campaigner Tony Murphy.
