Nick Xenophon

Originally elected to the South Australian parliament for a single issue, Nick 'No Pokies' Xenophon has now shifted his attention to the federal senate. The notoriously private Xenophon won't let anyone into his home, so he invites Annabel to his Adelaide office, which is conveniently decked out with a fully operational kitchen. Resourcefully incorporating several kitchen dishcloths, he painstakingly prepares some classic Greek dips. Then Nick, Annabel and 10 kilograms of octopi head off to a Greek yiros restaurant, where Nick takes over the barbecue coals and shares his secret to cooking perfect octopus. Over dinner Nick discusses some of his famous show downs with the Labor government when he held the balance of power in the Senate.
