Episode Details

Independent candidates are set to play a big role in the next federal election. And why are they running for election?

David Lewis speaks with Kylea Tink, the independent candidate in the seat of North Sydney, to find out why she is running for politics and how she is hoping to win the seat from the Liberal Party.
