About this episode
There comes a time when politicians say ‘enough is enough’ and they leave parliament.
Often they depart the stage without anyone really noticing, other times it’s worth pausing and marking their storied parliamentary careers.
That’s the case for Stuart Robert, who has called time on politics after 16 years – during which time he presided over the robo debt scandal, a bag of Rolexes, and made his name as Scott Morrison’s ‘brother Stewie’.
Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper Rick Morton on the incredible parliamentary life of Stuart Robert and the last scandal hanging over his departure.
