At the Melbourne Writers Festival, influential activist, writer and intellectual Noel Pearson delivers this year's John Button Oration. Strong-willed, controversial, and not afraid to show it, Pearson shows in this speech the incredible range of his thinking and his great skill as an orator. He speaks about progressive politics, the failure of the Labour Party in dealing with the plight of Indigenous Australians, and our need to discover what he terms our 'radical centre'.
