Ep #80 - Phil Cleary - Politics, VFA and anti-violence campaigner!

In my media career I have interviewed some big names in politics,
sport and media, but none that encompass all of these on a level
that Phil Cleary does. Phil took over from the great Bob Hawke in
the House of Representatives in the 90’s and has one heck of a
resume.


Phil is an author, anti-violence campaigner, radio presenter and
he has own podcast. He is also a former VFA footballer, coach and
commentator and was previously a teacher.


We talked about Phil’s:


Incredible work that he’s done as an anti-violence campaigner
following the tragedy of losing his sister in the late 1980's


Taking over Bob Hawke in the House of Representatives


Football career as a former player, coach and commentator in the
VFA


Podcast based on the World War Two documentary, Gladys and the
Brunswick Boys (see links below)
