Show Notes

Federal Member for Forrest, Ben Small, joins the BLXCK INK Podcast for the second time to discuss his new role and some important current topics.

We unpack big issues affecting the South West and the country more broadly, including housing affordability, small business, entrepreneurship, regional decision-making, fishing regulations, energy policy, and how long-form conversations can provide context that traditional media often misses.

We go beyond headlines and soundbites to explore what it’s actually like representing a regional electorate at a federal level — from being recognised in the local Coles aisle to navigating complex national policy decisions that directly impact everyday Australians.
