The comedian and activist has no time for monarchs, politicians or estate agents. But, as she tells Jo Lateu, positive people get her heart racing.
What are you politically passionate about?
Social justice. I want to live in a more equal society; I don’t want a class of super-rich. It’s creepy to want to be rich, mad to want to be super-rich. I am strongly anti-privatization of services and am against educational inequality. I want tertiary education, healthcare, water and social housing to be taxpayer funded and not for profit. And fuck estate agents. They should all change careers immediately.
