    Tim Read State MP for Brunswick

    Tim Read is a doctor who has lived in Brunswick since the early 1990s. A passionate climate change activist, Tim was elected as the state MP for Brunswick in 2018 and became the first Greens MP for the electorate. Tim is a little outside of the artist, designer and entrepreneur guests we usually have on the show. However, we felt that policy design and the high-level implementation of design ideas through state parliament was an interesting process to unpack and discuss on the show.  In this conversation we covered the process for policy ideas to become law and legislation, the power of public health to drive change in other sectors such as energy policy, welfare/homelessness, social housing and transport and what Tim's day to day life is like when working as a state MP.
