Guest 2 Overview: John Wacka Williams has received an OAM for services to Australia this year. He is the former chair of Greyhounds NSW. Before politics, he was a shearer and a small business owner. His background gave him a strong understanding of the issues facing rural and regional Australia, which he championed throughout his political career.
During his time in the Senate, Williams was particularly noted for his work on financial sector reforms. He played a pivotal role in exposing misconduct within the banking and financial services industries, leading to his instrumental involvement in the establishment of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation, and Financial Services Industry in 2017. His efforts in this area earned him widespread respect and recognition.
