A former New Zealand prime minister is set to appear at the Brisbane Writers Festival, with the event scheduled for Brisbane City Hall. The announcement across multiple outlets says the former prime minister will take part in a conversation moderated or hosted by writer Trent Dalton.

The reports agree on the venue and format, but provide limited additional detail. They do not specify the former prime minister’s name in the excerpts provided, nor do they outline the topics of discussion or the exact date and ticketing information for the event. The common focus is the role as a festival headliner and the planned public dialogue with Dalton.

While the articles share the same core facts, they are presented as a headline unveiling, suggesting this is the first public confirmation of the appearance. The outlets do not diverge on the basic description: an announced headlining conversation at Brisbane City Hall featuring Dalton and the former New Zealand prime minister.
