IQ2 Debate - Big Ideas

[phreakah]

I know this show has just finished - a lady called Wendy made a very good argument on the show about hypocrisy.

 

"The St James Ethics Centre presents the controversial topic: 'All Drugs Should Be Legalized' at Sydney's latest IQ2 debate, Angel Place."

 

The speakers FOR are Nicholas Cowdery QC, Wendy Harmer and Dr Alex Wodak AM and the speakers AGAINST are Jade Lewis, Dr Greg Pike and Paul Sheehan.

 

Highly recommended - I will see if I can find transcripts or a video.

You can listen to the audio recording of the debate, just below the poll results section. A video is supposedly going to be added at some point.

I haven't watched the whole thing but I like what I've heard. I'm liking these Intelligence squared people allowing for a clean debate where both ideas are presented and clear, this is how debates are supposed to be like.
