Join us at the State Library of Western Australia to hear Kim Beazley talk of his challenging role recording the audio version of the book titled “Father of the House: the memoirs of Kim E Beazley”. The book was written by his father and is an inside story of one of Australia’s longest serving and most influential Ministers in Federal Parliament.

In addition to his many accomplishments in the political arena, Kim Beazley spent nine weeks with a member of the Association for the Blind of WA Audio Production team recording and finalising the audio for the novel.

The State Library of WA is pleased to host Kim Beazley in our Theatre as he shares with us his fascinating experiences recording the book, read pages from the book, tell some anecdotes of his relationship with his father and maybe reveal some of his future plans in Washington.

Please join us to also congratulate Kim and wish him safe travels on his journey across the pond to Washington, D.C..
