Small deity to speak in Wellington

One of the minor gods of this household, John Ralston Saul, is in town next week. He is one of the keynote speakers for the the NZ Society of Local Government Managers conference. Registration fee is $1090, a bit beyond my means. If anyone gets word of an extra-curricular talk by JRS while he's around, please drop a line. How about a YouTube of the man's speech, then? Radio NZ audio? Anything..?
