People of Brisbane Podcast
The People of Brisbane Podcast is exactly that, a space to celebrate the incredible people within our local Brisbane community who have stories to share, big, small, politically-skewed, or not at all. This podcast is hosted by the Hon Trevor Evans to further share the powerful conversations he often has on the ground with community members he meets, knowing that often, these conversations are ones that many would resonate with. Trevor is a Liberal National Candidate for Brisbane running for re-election on May 3, 2025, and a former MP who represented the electorate of Brisbane during 2016-2022. He is an economist and a strong supporter of small business, forming the base for why he decided to enter politics to begin with.
