Thomas also discusses her thoughts on the ongoing housing crisis, cost-of-living crisis, and workers’ rights, how these issues impact younger Australians, the importance of having minority government in Australia, her interactions with voters in the PM’s electorate, running as a young candidate, and why more young lawyers and non-lawyers can and should put their hands up for service.
