Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by former ALP National Organiser and the current Labor MP for the Queensland state seat of Logan, Linus Power. 

Linus shares his thoughts on the Queensland experience of COVID, attitudes towards it’s recent outbreaks and lockdowns, and the handling of the pandemic by the Palaszczuk government.

Stephen and Linus evaluate the contrasting performance of Labor in the Sunshine State at state and federal elections and the reasons why Labor has performed so poorly since 2010. Linus reflects on his transition from organiser to public office, reminiscing on his organising roots, the parallels between the two roles.

And finally they talk about the resurgence of their beloved Celtic under new manager, Australia’s own - Ange Postecoglou!!!!
