The Parliament follows in the Westminster Parliamentary System based on adversarial principles, earning the nickname the ‘bear pit’. This unscripted conversation is a real and raw conversation about the tough topics facing Australia’s democracy.
Our special guests took their positions inside the chamber with Dr Simon Longstaff. A limited number of current MPs were invited to bear witness and fire questions at the group from their positions in the live audience.
Bare Pit was live-streamed via the NSW Parliament’s Facebook page from 1 pm on 30 June 2020. The full conversation is now available via catch up. Tune in below.
