Great Debate 2026 wrap up

Panel discussion on stage at WIRE’s Great Debate event at the Capitol Theatre in Melbourne

Thanks to everyone who came to the Capitol Theatre last Wednesday for our Great Debate! It was a really special night full of laughs, and highly persuasive arguments for both teams on the topic “It’s a Rich Man’s World”.

We really appreciate all who bought tickets, entered the raffle, donated prizes and contributed hours into making this event possible. And a big thanks to our wonderful host Nelly Thomas, and talented panellists Beverley Wang, Caroline Bowditch, Bec Goddard, Mimi Kwa, Janty Blair, and Annie Louey.
