Ep #80 - Phil Cleary - Politics, VFA and anti-violence campaigner!

In my media career I have interviewed some big names in politics, sport and media, but none that encompass all of these on a level that Phil Cleary does. Phil took over from the great Bob Hawke in the House of Representatives in the 90’s and has one heck of a resume. Phil is an author, anti-violence campaigner, radio presenter and he has own podcast. He is also a former VFA footballer, coach and commentator and was previously a teacher. We talked about Phil’s: Incredible work that he’s done as an anti-violence campaigner following the tragedy of losing his sister in the late 1980's Taking over Bob Hawke in the House of Representatives Football career as a former player, coach and commentator in the VFA Podcast based on the World War Two documentary, Gladys and the Brunswick Boys (see links below) https://talkingtalent.podbean.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/PhilClearyMP Enjoyment of being a teacher Three books and one in manuscript that he has written If you wish to book Phil for a speaking event post Covid 19, you can do so through the Talking Talent Facebook page.
