Clare O’Neil is the Labor Shadow Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care Services.

A qualified lawyer with a background in business consulting, Clare is a Fulbright Scholar and a graduate from the John F Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. 

Misha and Clare caught up for a chinwag about how we can make working work for people, why we need to rediscover class in our political discourse, Australia’s guest worker visa disaster, the short term obsessions undermining our policy making, bringing tech giants to heel and how we can improve the culture of our politics.

It’s a fascinating chat and we hope you enjoy it!

Ever since Clare lobbed on the scene as the youngest woman to be elected as mayor in Australian history she’s been a rising superstar in Australian politics and this chat really shows why Clare is so highly rated.

Clare is also a fellow podcaster! Clare’s podcast The Long View focuses on long term policy challenges and recovering from COVID-19.

Enjoy the episode!
