Australia’s Opportunity Knocks: With Senator Gerard Rennick

I had the opportunity to discuss a range of policy issues with Liberal Senator Gerard Rennick from Queensland. He has some potent views about the opportunity for change to set Australia up for the years ahead. And some of his thoughts may surprise you!
