Ep.108: We rented a tram with Terri Butler

Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by federal member for Griffith, Shadow Minister for the Environment and Water, and former Student Unity alum, Terri Butler.

In the spirit of the Marshall Ganz teachings of Public Narrative and Story of Self, Terri discusses her journey from a kid growing up in FNQ to student activist (one for the stu-pol folks circa 1997), to lawyer and then public office.  

As it is Socially Democratic’s “Women in Politics” month, Terri discusses the landmark Respect@Work report and the Morrison Government’s missed opportunity to address workplace sexual harassment, she ask’s what it takes to get punted from the Ministry (because clearly anonymous payments for a Minister’s legal fees is ok) and unpacks the cost of tearing up an over-budget French submarine contract to replace it with a more expensive UK/US one.

The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street. For more information on how Dunn Street can help you organise to build winning campaigns in your community, business or organisation, and make the world a better place, look us up at: dunnstreet.com.au
