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.’
Senatory Dastyari opened with the omission that he was ‘A product of the Labor machine’. And he was just getting started as he talked about his take on power and who really runs the country.
Featuring:
- Senator Sam Dastyari @samdastyari
- Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director of The Australia Instute @ebony_bennett
- Ben Oquist, Executive Director of The Australia Institute @BenOquist
