Back To School With Julie Bishop

Let's kick off BTSW S3 with a bang (or, rather, a Bishop).

This post is presented in partnership with Bankwest.

In 2015, we interviewed Anthony Albanese, Michael Caton, Marie Bashir, Tom Ballard and too many other fascinating peeps to mention. Tough to top, right?

Well, in Season 3 of Back To School With..., we're kicking it up a notch.

Check back over the next eight weeks for illuminating chats with Dr. Karl, John Marsden, Kelly Cartwright and more!

Our webseries Back To School With... invites Australia's most interesting and successful people to share stories from their school days. In each episode, they let us know how they landed their dream careers, as well as how they faced all those inevitable obstacles of teenagerdom along the way.

In the first episode of Season 3, we speak with Australia's Foreign Minister and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party (as well as noted emoji-lover) Julie Bishop. She tells us all about her teenage jobs (picking cherries and tending pubs), the time she convinced her parents to let her travel the world at age 17, and how she eventually walked away from a promising career in law to take on politics.

Check it out!

We'll meet you back here next week for the second episode of BTSW Season 3!
