Podcast: How would job-sharing in politics work? Interview with Lucy Bradlow and Bronwen Bock

Earlier this year, Lucy Bradlow and Bronwen Bock made history when they launched their campaign for the seat of Higgins. The catch? They were job-sharing candidates. Now, since the AEC abolished the Higgins electorate, they have relaunched their campaign for a spot in the Senate. This week, Olivia Cleal sits down with the newly formed Better Together Party to hear how it would all work. Check out the interview from 20mins 58 secs onwards.

Elsewhere, in this week’s episode, Angela Priestley and Olivia Cleal share three great wins from the week, including an investment in women’s health, a new female prime minister, and a 99-year-old environmental activist who said: “I’m 99 – let them arrest me.”

Plus: a Liberal MP in South Australia introduced a private members Bill on changes to abortion. Why did he do it? We share more.
