David Littleproud & Katherine Deves on The Damien Richardson Show - 17 April 2023
GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: David Littleproud is an Australian politician who has been the leader of the National Party since May 2022. He has represented the Queensland seat of Maranoa since the 2016 federal election and was a cabinet minister in the Turnbull and Morrison governments. Littleproud grew up in Chinchilla, Queensland, the son of former state government minister Brian Littleproud. He worked as an agribusiness banker with NAB and Suncorp before entering politics. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2016.
GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Katherine Deves will nominate for the Liberal Party’s NSW Senate vacancy, re-entering the political fray just a year after she sparked a firestorm over her controversial views. After being anointed by former prime minister Scott Morrison to run in the Sydney northern beaches seat of Warringah, Ms Deves faced opprobrium after her history of controversial online comments regarding transgender children surfaced during the 2022 federal election campaign. After initially apologising for the comments – including saying trans children were being “surgically mutilated and sterilised” – Ms Deves later doubled down, saying that while she acknowledged her “confronting” language she stood by the “substance of her arguments”.
