SUMMER SPECIAL Sam Dastyari
Follow The Money summer specials continue with an absolute pearler from the first Politics in the Pub last year (2016) featuring charasmatic, controversial Senator, Sam Dastyari.
Richard Denniss described it as ‘the best Politics in the Pub speach yet.’

Featuring:
- Senator Sam Dastyari @samdastyari
- Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director of The Australia Instute @ebony_bennett
- Ben Oquist, Executive Director of The Australia Institute @BenOquist
