Curtin’s Cast Episode 12 - 14 May 2025 - Andrew Hastie MP

We've got a cracking episode of Curtin's Cast this week featuring Liberal Party rising star and MP for Canning in Western Australia, Andrew Hastie, who was their only metropolitan adjacent seat holder to record an increase in his primary and 2 party preferred vote. Nick Dyrenfurth and Kos Samaras chatted to Andrew about his early life and family as the son of a clergyman and grandson of soldiers, the importance of faith, his service in the Army's SAS, the battle of ideas and why he might be best described ideologically as a Red Tory, the life of West Australian MP and mates in politics including the much missed Senator Kimberley Kitching, the Liberal party's recent struggles and future leadership aspirations.
