What makes Bernie Finn tick
Neil Mitchell describes outspoken Liberal MP Bernie Finn as a “continual irritant” to his party.
A 30-year career in politics has seen him stand up for his conservative politics and speak his mind.
“I don’t set out to be irritating, I don’t set out to annoy people,” he told Neil Mitchell on 3AW Mornings.
“But I think it’s important … that views be put.
“And if I have a view, and I want to put it, I do it because I think it’s right.”
Before he was known for his outspoken views, Mr Finn had a career in radio at the now defunct station 3DB where he worked as an announcer, producer and panel operator.
He shared some of the moments that have left the greatest impact on his outlook — his late father’s fight with cancer, his mother’s resilience during that time, and a “devastating” spina bifida diagnosis for his eldest son.
