Episode 39

We cover:

- How Cabramatta was back in the early 80's, 90's
- The accumulation of events that eventually led to her career within politics
- What are the basics of politics?
- Why do younger people tend to have a low interest in politics?
- What's the difference between Council and the Senate/House of Representatives election?
- What obstacles did Dai face when moving into a political career as an Asian-Australian?
