Why Not Me? Young Chinese Australians taking part in the political game
According to Australian electoral laws, any Australian citizen above 18 and eligible to vote can run for parliament. So as a young Chinese Australian what’s your chance of becoming Australia’s next Prime Minister? In this episode, Wing Kuang and Bertin Huynh investigate climbing the ladder to Australia’s top job, starting with the country’s lowest level of government - the council. Joining them to unpack the highs and lows of running for office is Michelle Chuang, a manager of a medical centre and recently-elected councillor at Willoughby City Council, and Solomon Lin, a civil engineer who ran for Monash City Council in 2024.
