Are you one of the cynical punters who's lost all hope in the political system? Or do you still believe that everyday Australians can make a real difference? This episode of the Punters Politics Podcast is diving deep into that very question.
We'll be hearing from independent MP Dr. Monique Ryan, who pulled off a stunning upset victory by unseating a top Liberal Party leader. So what can her story teach us about the power of engaged citizens? And are things like letters, phone calls, and petitions actually worth the effort - or are they just a waste of time?
