The discussion is open to the public and will be held at 10am at Westport Club.
Mr Oakeshott has been very active in the community including as Federal Member for Lyne for many years until 2013 and before that as the NSW State MP for the seat of Port Macquarie.
The topic for Mr Oakeshott’s speech is Media and Politics and is expected to cover issues including the use of Twitter and Facebook by politicians; “fake news”; and what can be done (if anything) when voters are more likely to take their cues from media personalities than the people standing for office.
