128: Gabrielle Chan swapped her parliament house press pass in Canberra for life on the land

About this episode

Gabrielle Chan is a political journalist and the rural editor of the Guardian Australia. She's a fierce advocate for the bush, a loyalty and understanding that stems from her own experience as a rural mum. Gabrielle grew up in the city, and only moved to a farm when she was married and 8 months pregnant. Her new life started as a shock to the system, before her love for her community seeped into her bones and set her on a mission to uncover and report on the real issues facing rural Australia. With the federal election this weekend, our catch up is fitting. This is her story.
