This week on The Commentary Booth Jamie is joined by a very special guest, this person is an instantly recognisable Australian television and film actress. This person was the first Aboriginal actress to win the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, & has gone on to win four more AFI Awards across television and film.

Before we throw it over to our interview with Deborah Mailman, let me first take this time to describe the show we're here to discuss today, Total Control.
Total Control is an ABC political drama series that follows Alex Irving (played by Deborah Mailman), an Indigenous woman who gets pulled into the high-stakes world of Australian politics.
Season 3 returns two years after the explosive events of the second season, with outsider turned kingmaker, Alex Irving, feeling completely at home in the nation’s capital. But what she’s about to discover will test her like never before. Can Alex achieve the change she’s been fighting for or will it cost her everything?
Starring two titans of Australian screen Deborah Mailman & Rachel Griffiths, ABC’s prestigious and razor-sharp political drama Total Control makes its final return with more powerplays, betrayals and soul-searching from Sunday, January 14 at 8.30 pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
