Joining Hamish Macdonald for this discussion are: Stuart Ayres, NSW Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney; Richard Marles, Deputy Opposition Leader; Dai Le, Fairfield City Councillor; Amani Haydar, artist, lawyer and writer; Amanda Rose, Founding Director of Western Sydney Women.
