Nigel Scullion (Darwin)

Political commentator Annabel Crabb joins Opposition Minster for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion. Nigel cooks a chilli mud crab and a Northern Territory tasting plate. Annabel's dessert is a mango and lemon myrtle trifle. One of the best-kept secrets of the Senate, Nigel Scullion represents the Northern Territory and is the opposition’s spokesperson for Indigenous Affairs. Senator Scullion talks to Annabel about his improbable life story – from a nomadic African youth to a stint in the Canberra Scouts to living on a boat in Arnhem Land to a wild night out sans trousers in St Petersburg, to passionate local member and supporter of his indigenous constituents. A self confessed serial “wildlife botherer”, Scullion’s past is as rich and colourful as the creatures he kills and serves. Like all Territorians, Scullion is a great storyteller. Telling tales both tall and true he whisks Annabel off in his boat to a remote location that becomes both supermarket and kitchen, and confronts an angry crustacean in his bare feet. True story
