You're tuned in to hear our last guest of this year's Real Chats series. We are delighted to have Tyson Koh, Director of Keep Sydney Open join us as we chat how this movement began as a grassroots cause and eventuated into a political party. We were delighted to get some behind the scenes info, including:

- What it took to put on a 10,000 person rally and how the intent of these rallies was to express the discomfort people had with Sydney's Lockout Laws

- The process of forming a political party and how values, community engagement and a bit of luck helped shape an agile political campaign

- How we can influence future discourse: we've forgotten the simple act of listening, which at times can show how much we have in common with our political counterparts
