Senator Bob Day was one of Australia's most successful builders. After being named South Australian Entrepreneur of the Year and receiving an Order of Australia for his housing affordability advocacy, Bob's journey led him to the Senate. Ever since he has been arguing and advocating for Australians to be given more freedom to decide their own workplace arrangements, and for government to get out of the way of, among other things, housing development. I was privileged to have Bob share with me a true insiders perspective on the real challenges in Australian politics, particularly pertaining to workplace and housing laws.
