Sam Dastyari

There are few people in Australia with the unique experiences of Sam Dastyari. From the dizzying heights of being an Australian Senator at aged 30, to crashing lows five years later. In 2013 Sam was elected to the Australian Senate representing NSW as the youngest ever Senator form the Australian Labor Party. Quick to shape a story (and get a headline) Sam made his impact in Australian Politics quickly felt. Sam was responsible for managing the Senate Economics Committee towards the Royal Commission into Australian banking.

During the 2016 Federal Election campaign Sam travelled Australia for 7 weeks on a bus and helped run Bill Shorten’s election campaign.

By the end of 2017 it all came crashing down. Now as a TV host, consultant and an advisor to some of Australia’s largest businesses; Sam has seen it all. When not working, Sam is obsessed with his 4 rescue cats thats; Margaret Thatcher, Chairman Mao, Lenin and Trotsky.

He is easy to love, easier to hate; but impossible to ignore.
