    BETOOTA TALKS: Max Chandler-Mather MP

    The Greenslander himself, Max Chandler-Mather joins Betoota Talks to discuss his unique brand of environmentalist class politics, and how it translates so well to suburban Queensland. At the 2022 election, MCM snatched the safe Labor electorate of Griffith in South Brisbane for the Greens - former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's old seat.

     

    He was joined by two more lower house MPs on the southside of the River City. These aren't inner-city leftie suburbs. What is Max doing differently to Labor and the Liberals? The 33-year-old Maverick unionist explains to The Betoota team just how succesful he is when it comes to winning over right-wing voters during his relentless door-knocking campaigns and community events.

    BETOOTA TALKS: Hon Sussan Ley MP - Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party

    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.
