Sixth up in our series of bonus episodes interviewing Greens candidates for the upcoming federal election, Tom meets Samantha Ratnam - former Victorian Greens state leader, and candidate for the seat of Wills!

Why did she resign as a state MP to run for federal politics? How did the redistribution halve Labor’s margin in the seat? Can Melbourne’s Greens presence finally grow beyond Adam Bandt? And is this the end of current member and supposed Special Envoy for Social Cohesion, Peter Khalil? As he would say, “You will have to wait and see hope you are pleasantly surprised.”
