David Pocock (pictured) is known to many Australians for his exploits on the rugby fields, both here in Australia and overseas, and on Saturday, stood as a candidate for the Australian Government and at this point appears to have been successful in his bid to become a Senator.

Cycling takes centre stage on the World Resources Institute podcast, "Big Ideas into Action".

A recording of today's discussion with David can be found on The Australia Institute website.
