In this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Angus Smith, 2024 Wagga Wagga Young Citizen of the Year, youth parliament member, and currently a research assistant at the ANU National Security College in Canberra. We discussed growing up in Wagga, his civic engagement, national security issues, and the future of the Liberal Party.
