Barry Du Bois has big ambitions despite his terminal cancer diagnosis.
The co-host of Network 10's lifestyle program The Living Room is running as an independent NSW seat in the Senate in the next federal election.
The father-of-two's motivation to enter politics stemmed from how 'petrified' he was for his children's future and how Australia was 'heading in the wrong direction.'

'I believe if I was there, I could hold my children, even when they're a man and a woman, and protect them and fight for them, and I just don't believe that's the future,' said Barry, 60, in an interview with TV week.
The designer acknowledged that he only has 'two years left' due to his incurable cancer diagnosis, after a five-year prediction from his doctor in 2017.
