Yep, a one-stop pod that shows how we can make our vote count toward a more caring, humane, vibrant Australia on May 21. To kick off, I explain why I think this election is the most important in recent history, why things feel so fractured and dismal (you’re not imagining it; the country has swerved well off track!), but most importantly how we can strategically shake things up election day and land a hopeful result. I’ll be posting twice a week over the next month or so, speaking to my old friends from my political journalism days, and covering off how to vote if you care about the following: a legit climate policy; stamping out integrity and corruption in Canberra; fixing the bloody gender violence and inequality mess (it’s 2022, fellas!!); installing a First Nations voice to parliament; as well as the growing social issues that are splitting the haves and have nots like I’ve never seen before. So…not your usual political podcast. Sound good? Tell your friends and remember to keep sending me voice messages in my Instagram messages if you want your questions answered along the way.
