The mean streets of power – Parliament House inspiring crime writers
August 28, 2016 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
The corridors of power have inspired some of Australia’s best crime writers. Ministerial murder, back room dirty deals, bodies in the lake and public servants disappearing are just some of the crimes solved by a diverse range of detectives, journalists and unlucky suspects.
Fine exponents of the genre will discuss how parliament and Parliament House appears as a character as well as inspiration for their work at this free event in the Theatre at Parliament House. Kel Robertson, Peter Cotton, Paul Daley and Sisters in Crime member Dorothy Johnston will share a few of their most compelling scenes as well as the balance between real life and fiction in their work.
