Having grown up in a household where discussing social issues was the norm, Angus McAlpine put his hand up to be a Greens candidate for his local electorate early last year. He was interested in sharing a diverse voice in his community and supporting an emerging young leader in his party name Huong Truong. However, other political parties, the media and the public quickly hosed down his work and career in politics by digging up and putting the focus on his past mistakes as a young rapper. Angus shares his experiences, and encourages other young people to participate in politics despite his brush with public scrutiny.
