Ben Abbatangelo  is a proud Gunaikurnai and Wotjobaluk man and a social commentator. He’s the former deputy CEO of global non-profit AIME, has appeared regularly on The Project and the ABC and has written for The Guardian and The Saturday Paper. Based on some of his recent work, I’ve sensed that Ben’s been going through something of a political shift of late, towards somewhere a bit more radical, and I was keen to talk him about it. In this conversation we discuss what that shift has involved, the naivety he’s left behind and what it means for his politics now. Ben also tells me about the legacy of the Northern Territory Intervention, explains the situation in Alice Springs and lays out the questions he’s asking about the upcoming Voice to Parliament referendum and his sympathy for a progressive No vote.

264 - Ben Abbatangelo

Life is bigger than cricket and no one understands that more than Ben Abbatangelo. Ben is a Gunaikurnai virtuoso executive leader, freelance writer and storyteller. He is also a former Melbourne Stars, Victoria and Northcote batter and deputy CEO of AIME.  He jumps on the line to talk us through his life, culture, relationship to cricket and discusses how we as a society can do better. It's not the nostalgic jump down memory lane many people enjoy, but this week's episode is something all people need to hear.
