Speaking Up: Gleebooks & MUP present Gillian Triggs

Speaking Up shares with readers the values that have guided Triggs’ convictions and the causes she has championed.

As president of the Human Rights Commission, Gillian Triggs advocated for the disempowered, the disenfranchised, the marginalised. She withstood relentless political pressure and media scrutiny as she defended the defenceless for five tumultuous years. How did this aspiring ballet dancer, dignified daughter of a tank commander and eminent law academic respond when appreciative passengers on a full airplane departing Canberra greeted her with a round of applause?

Triggs’ passionate memoir is an irresistible call to everyone who yearns for a fairer world.

Copies of Speaking Up will be on sale, and Gillian will be available for signing. Book your tickets now.
