It’s the long weekend, so what better way to kick it off than with some wins? We take a look at ultra marathon runner Jasmin Paris and figure skater Deanna Stellato-Dudek. Some major moves for women’s health in Australia as well, with the launch of a new medical research centre in Sydney, plus a huge milestone for women’s reproductive health.
In this episode, Tarla Lambert and Angela Priestley also discuss the so-called woman problem in the Liberal party and what they are - or aren’t - doing about it. Plus, we break down Mary Wooldridge’s National Press Club Address on Australia’s gender pay gaps.
