Fixing Our Public Leadership Deficit

LISTEN TO THIS EDITION OF BTALK

Are there any politicians you truly admire these days? Do you feel that some of the big issues that need to be addressed are hopelessly lost in politics without adequate outcome?

NSW goes to the polls this week with the choice between one of the most unpopular Labor governments ever, and an opposition with policies that feel like they’ve been dreamt up on the fly.
