Dennis Glover from the Block Up Ya Class
-
- Society & Culture
Dennis Glover grew up in Doveton, Victoria at a time when it was considered "a bit rough" but "functional" - people had jobs and therefore income, dignity and a level of security.
Since all the factories closed, Doveton has devolved into a dumping ground for the "battlers" that all the pollies talk about, but few do anything for.
Dennis was - and still is - the only person in his family to be tertiary educated (and one of the few to finish school) and yet, he went all the way to the hallowed halls of The University of Cambridge.
We ask him how the hell that happened and, how he likes his rissoles.
Up Ya Class is hosted by Nelly Thomas, Shane Liang and Dave O'Neil.
