Usually cuts are not something elected officials are happy to talk about, but in this case the cut is a welcome one.

On the Ledge host Adam Hunter speaks with Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit about his marvelous mullet and why he's growing his hair out.

Ottenbreit lost his son Brayden to cancer in 2000. He and his wife Leone have held Brayden's Close Cuts for Cancer since 1998. The annual head shaving event happens in late May.

In this episode, Ottenbreit discuss the origins of the fundraiser, his own battle with cancer and the gentle ribbing he gets from colleagues over his "business in the front, party in the back" hairstyle.
