Former Australian Greens leader Bob Brown casts an unflinching eye on the forces that have shaped him and the reasons why he’ll never stop fighting. Bob’s new book, Defiance, traverses his early days leading local environmental campaigns, to the national stage and Federal Parliament, all the while fighting for issues that matter. With Sophie Black.
