This week we talk to the Member for Farrer Sussan Ley. A seasoned political operator and deputy leader of the Liberal Party. Born in Nigeria, raised in the Emirates and the British boarding school system before settling in Canberra, Sussan’s path to politics has been anything but conventional. From her time as a commercial pilot to raising cattle to holding multiple ministerial portfolios, she’s seen firsthand how Australian politics has evolved since she was first elected in 2001.

 

Now, as a key figure in the Opposition, she shares her thoughts on the challenges facing the Coalition, the road to the next election, and why political battles aren’t just fought in Parliament but in the hearts and minds of voters. Tune in for a rather candid conversation about the state of politics today, where we cover a range of topics, including her boss' penchant for extreme specific share trading.
