S3E1 What faith, finance and fairness have to do with mohawlks and three-piece suits - Benson Saulo

Episode 1: Benson Saulo

 

There are many ways to describe Benson Saulo. A descendant of the Wemba Wemba and Gunditjmara Aboriginal nations of Western Victoria, and New Ireland Province in Papua New Guinea. The first Indigenous person to be appointed an Australian Consul-General in Australia’s history. A former Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner based in Houston. He’s represented Australia on the global stage at the United Nations. Now he is the Liberal candidate for Macnamara in Melbourne ahead of the 2025 federal election. But it all started with his passion and belief in faith, family, finance and fairness, which have propelled him forward over his 30-something years to now. Dig deeper and you’ll also find that Benson once sported a mohawk and wore a three-piece suit – not at the same time. Be inspired and humbled as you walk with Benson through this special conversation.
