KEEPING TRACKS | The soul of Samantha Ratnam

5/2/2025
In the middle of a monumental campaign, Samantha Ratnam chose to speak with us -not about policies or polling, but about something far more personal. Why? Because for Samantha, music isn’t just a passion - it’s a love tightly woven into her sense of self. Listen as the Victorian Greens leader-turned-federal parliament hopeful takes us from war in Sri Lanka to airport bag checks to the halls of high-profile politics, all through the rhythms and harmonies of three songs that shaped her: her Keeping Tracks. 'Resolution' by Matt Corby 'Everything Is Everything' by Lauryn Hill 'Underdog' by Alicia Keys This conversation shouldn't tell you how to vote, but it might offer something rarer: a glimpse into the person behind one of this election’s most pivotal candidacies. Enjoy.
