BONUS: Meet the Candidate - Omar Sakr for Blaxland

Third up in our series of bonus episodes interviewing Greens candidates for the upcoming federal election, Tom meets Omar Sakr, poet, novelist, essayist, and Greens candidate for Blaxland in NSW! Is the seat of Paul Keating and now Jason Clare, finally ready to end its status as a Labor stronghold? Why don’t the major parties support Muslim voices and stand up for the people in Gaza? And what happened after he wrote a poem reflecting on ‘Bluey in the genocide’ and caught the interest of News Corp? ---------- These bonus election episodes can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.
