This episode is a master-class progressive politics on the northern beaches. Will joins local campaigner Louise Hislop, who has long worked towards getting an independent elected in Warringah, starting with Australian Idol host James Mathison to eventually supporting Zali Steggal's win in 2019. Will asks how it all started and how she got into politics. Its a story of how different, varied community groups bubbled away to eventually crescendo into one big movement in voting Tony Abbott out.
We also look at what lessons we can learn from and apply to the upcoming 2022 Federal Election - especially around fake news and some false yarns being spun in neighbouring electorates of Mackellar.
