The US election is around the corner – so, what should we expect? This week, Tarla Lambert-Patel and Angela Priestley discuss whether the candidates really are “just as bad as each other”, what the vote will mean for Australia, plus the women in red states who are secretly voting for Kamala Harris.
Also this week, we break down the Queensland election and what it means for women’s reproductive rights. Plus, an update on Australia’s devastating crisis of violence against women (some listeners may find this content distressing – if you do not wish to listen to this segment, you can skip from 6:02-12:16).
And wins for this week go to Anna Kendrick, and women entrepreneurs leading the way in “democracy” startups. Find out more!
Stories discussed this week:
- How this female-founded social enterprise is fighting polarisation in Australian politics
- They met at the Women’s March, now their startup’s set to change politics
- Another family mourns. Another horror month of violence against women
- Should we be concerned by the pro-life movement in the Queensland parliament? Absolutely
