Magda Szubanski has been famous for making Australia laugh for over three decades, but more recently she was named the “Most Talked about Person of 2017” following what many have called her ‘crucial role’ in the complex and difficult 2017 Same-Sex Marriage Survey. Supported bySupported by100% of funds raised through the Business Lunch Series are donated to the Somerset Storyfest. Funds are used to extend literary activities throughout the Gold Coast and beyond, as well as continuing to support the Somerset Literary Fund which brings disadvantaged students from both local and regional areas to Storyfest. Students have travelled from regional Queensland, Far North Queensland and the Northern Territory. These students are transported, accommodated and given the opportunity to visit the author sessions, participate in workshops and various interactions with authors. |
