Henry Wilson

Henry Wilson is the kind of guest every podcast hopes for: sharp, thoughtful, and able to turn a complex idea into a cracking conversation. Known for his work in Australian politics and public policy, Henry brings a deep understanding of how power, institutions, and decision-making actually work behind the scenes.

With experience across government and political strategy, Henry has spent years analysing the machinery of democracy — from election dynamics and party strategy to the real-world consequences of policy decisions. He’s the rare political mind who can talk about serious issues without sounding like a press release.

On Oldmate & Josh, Henry joins the conversation to break down what’s really happening in politics right now, cutting through the spin to explain the stakes, the personalities, and the decisions shaping Australia’s future.

Expect smart insights, a few uncomfortable truths, and the occasional moment where the politics gets real enough that even Oldmate has to pause before making a joke.
