Julian Leeser MP - Member of the Australian Parliament

The Jason de Sousa Show

Joining Smarter Cities in this episode is Julian Leeser MP, Member of the Australian Parliament for the Northern Sydney seat of Berowra.

Part of a rising class of young politicians focused on Australia's future, Julian is leading a range of public discussion on Australia as a nation, our constitution that governs us and on our place as a people in the world.

In a wide ranging discussion, recorded on 13 March at the Commonwealth's Parliamentary Office in Sydney, Julian and I reflect on:

- Our response to the emerging Corona virus pandemic and how we should respond after it

- On the role of free trade in the economic well being of nations and the world

- On Australia's constitution, the debate on a Bill of Rights for Australia and recognition of Indigenous Australian's in our constitution.

Elected in 2016, Julian Leeser is Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Constitutional Recognition relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, among other responsibilities.
