In this episode of The Hot Seat, you’ll hear the backstory of one of Tasmania’s best known radio broadcasters and politicians, the Independent Member for Rosevears Kerry Finch MLC. Late last year Kerry announced he would not recontest the 2020 Legislative Council elections in order to start a new stage of his life. Hot Seat host Chris Sayer asks Kerry about some of his favourite memories and together they discuss the journey of a young boy from Fern Tree whose optimism and determination saw him become a successful radio broadcaster and one of Tasmania’s longest serving politicians. You’ll also hear his thoughts on the 18 years he has spent on the Legislative Council, a tenure that was about to come to an end. And Kerry plays some of his favourite music too!
