Former Deputy Prime Minister – John Anderson
John Anderson is a sixth-generation farmer and grazier from New South Wales, who spent 19 years from 1989 in the Australian Parliament. This included six years as Leader of the National Party and Deputy Prime Minister.
Since leaving politics, John has become one of Australia’s leading social commentators. He launched his podcast Conversations out of his concern over the standard of our public debate. Having attracted close to 15 million views, John’s Conversations pursues the principle that you can not get good public policy out of a bad public debate.

John Rusnak is a former Wall Street trader. Fine mannered family man and business executive on the weekend, a ruthless rogue trader during the week. In 2001 John was convicted for a financial scandal at Allied Irish Banks. Close to US $700m in losses were hidden from his employer, leading to a 7.5 year prison sentence. John now helps young men being held in adult prisons transition to the next stage of their life. The motivation for his work comes from the redemption he himself experienced in prison. You won’t want to miss his compelling story!
