Ep #80 - Phil Cleary - Politics, VFA and anti-violence campaigner!

In my media career I have interviewed some big names in politics, sport and media, but none that encompass all of these on a level that Phil Cleary does. Phil took over from the great Bob Hawke in the House of Representatives in the 90’s and has one heck of a resume.

Phil is an author, anti-violence campaigner, radio presenter and he has own podcast. He is also a former VFA footballer, coach and commentator and was previously a teacher.

We talked about Phil’s:

Incredible work that he’s done as an anti-violence campaigner following the tragedy of losing his sister in the late 1980's

Taking over Bob Hawke in the House of Representatives

Football career as a former player, coach and commentator in the VFA

Podcast based on the World War Two documentary, Gladys and the Brunswick Boys (see links below)
