Kylea Tink was an independent MP in the previous term of parliament and she’s now the CEO of FoodBank, which distributes food to those doing it tough. FoodBank’s 2025 Hunger Report shares the shocking statistic that one in three Australian households experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months, with renters, the disabled and single parent households particularly vulnerable. It’s a hard read in the so-called lucky country but Kylea is full of ideas for change. https://www.foodbank.org.au SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

We’re celebrating 800 episodes of Dirty Linen at the moment. Just over five years ago when we started the podcast - the second on the Deep in the Weeds network - it was because there were stories that urgently needed to be told…so we got about it. More than 800 conversations later, we’re still here to show and share the power and possibilities of connecting around food. Thanks for being on the journey with us! Today’s guest digs into the essential but confusing and sometimes overwhelming issue of sustainability. Natalie Bolt (The Table Food Consultants) looks at people, planet and profit, and the easy wins that help the bottom line while also doing good. https://thetablefoodconsultants.com.au SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
