61 - Osman Faruqi - a podcast by Tom Ballard
from 2016-05-03T11:34:09
Writer, engineer, former political candidate and now
pollster Osman Faruqi has written
for Guardian
Australia, Junkee and SBS and
regularly tweets like a mofo. He's the son
of Mehreen Faruqi, the first female Muslim to
be elected to any Australian parliament (for the Greens, no less)
and has recently launched his own polling
site, "http://www.metapoll.com.au/">Metapoll, dubbed "the
most reliable poll ever".
Here Osman tells me how he and his mum first became engaged with
politics, the dire state of climate politics in Australia today,the
lack of diversity in the Greens and the ALMIGHTY POWER OF THE
POLLS.
