Ed Husic MP ( @ehusic ) is The Honorable Member for Chifley, Shadow Minister for the Digital Economy, Employment Services, Workforce Participation and the Future of Work. He is a Labor Party Member, a mad Chicago Bulls supporter and as he’s said himself “Blacktown through and through”.

Ed is one of the most straight-talking MPs I’ve heard in the modern political era. He’s incredibly gracious, clearly well-read and - I believe - a politician that instills confidence in an era where polarisation and political correctness is the word on everyone’s lips. I have no doubt that we’ll see important work from Ed over the coming years.

This was an enjoyable conversation covering many points, including:

  • Basketball, his favourite Michael Jordan memory, and US travels

  • His experience and love for Western Sydney

  • Lessons from his parents

  • Immigrant communities & their upbringing

  • Homogeneous and diverse societies

  • His political voice and views

  • The evolution of politicians in politics

  • The difference of being in government & shadow government

Enjoy the episode!
