Ep 164: Human Nature

This week, Clancy and Errol talk to another Independent Candidate hoping to disrupt the status quo at the 2022 Federal Election. Hanabeth Luke is a scientist and Marine Rescue volunteer, who teaches at Southern Cross University, while also raising a family in Evans Head. She making a run at the marginal electorate of Page, currently held by the National Party. After 6 weeks of flood rescues and recovery from Byron to Grafton, Hanabeth has a lot to say about the current government, and it seems the rest of her constituents are also fed up with the way things are. The editors ask Hanabeth what her plans are if it comes down to a hung parliament, and do these Independents answer to higher powers?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
