On Thursday night, under the baton of Simone Young, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s return to their resurrected spiritual home drew a star-studded guest list. Scomo’s former head of strategy and research Dave “not Hughesy” Hughes has stuck around too, landing a senior role in Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s office.
