DON'T RISK DUTTON - Read the election facts from Australian Unions

In our attempt to do the funniest thing ever, we welcomed independent candidate for Dickson, and Peter Dutton’s opponent Ellie Smith onto the podcast! 

We chat all things Queensland politics, Cyclone Alfred and the challenges of running against the top dog of the Liberal Party. We dive into why the Liberal Leader’s seat is so marginal, and how Ellie plans to pull off the campaign of a lifetime, by listening to voters that Peter Dutton has taken for granted for far too long.
