KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 -- In a real-life political drama, Hannah Thomas - daughter of Malaysia's former attorney-general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas - is going head-to-head against Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the country's election on May 3.

The 30-something firebrand is running under the Greens banner in Grayndler, the very seat Albanese has controlled since 1996 - and she's not pulling any punches.

"It's an insane thing to be doing, but it's also extremely exciting," Hannah said in an interview with The Feed SBS.

Today, she's the youngest candidate in Grayndler - and she's gunning for the top.
