The Right Hand: An Evening with Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks and Ben Hubbard

Join us for The Right Hand LIVE, an evening with Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks, founder of Missing Perspectives and author of The Right Hand, in conversation with Ben Hubbard, former Chief of Staff to Australia’s 27th Prime Minister, the Honourable Julia Gillard MP.

We all know the names: Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris, Tony Blair, Justin Trudeau, John Howard, Sanna Marin, Nelson Mandela and Julia Gillard. But what about the people standing just behind them? In The Right Hand, Phoebe sits down with the chiefs of staff to some of the most defining presidents and prime ministers of our time. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be in the highest corridors of power, this is your all-access pass.
