She grew up between two very different worlds: a bohemian, artistic mother and a disciplined military father. That mix shaped a career that took her into Australian parliament, international diplomacy, the United Nations and some of the most complex negotiations on the planet.Now she’s brought all of that experience to a 2,000-person island — and says it’s the hardest job she’s ever had.In this episode we talk about what the Policy & Finance Committee actually does, why Alderney is self-governing, how global treaties really get negotiated, the decline of international institutions, freedom of speech, digital infrastructure, economic survival, innovation versus stagnation and why small systems can be harder to fix than big ones.We also go deep on Alderney politics: Code of Conduct complaints, social media pressure, leadership in a fishbowl, collective decision-making, why progress feels slow and what has to change if young people are going to have a future here.This is thoughtful, honest and occasionally emotional.Not politics for clicks.Politics for people who actually care about where they live.LET’S CONNECT 👇Listen on Apple Podcasts:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/...Listen on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojlnW...Instagram: / camcairnduff LinkedIn: / cameroncairnduff TikTok: / camcairnduff Facebook: / cameronfilms YouTube: / @camcairnduff
