    Trump or Harris. QLD election. Women's democracy

    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!

    LinkedIn Lechers - is any social media platform safe for women?

    Women have to tread cautiously online - even on LinkedIn, a space that in theory should be safe for everyone to make genuine, professional connections. But allegations against prominent tech founder Richard White - aka “LinkedIn Lecher” - that have emerged this week demonstrate the risk women face on the social media platform. Elsewhere in this week’s episode, Angela Priestley and Tarla Lambert-Patel also discuss the incredible bravery of Gisèle Pélicot, after her recent testimony in court. (A warning to our listeners - this story contains some distressing content, including references to rape and sexual assault. Skip from 10 mins 44 secs to 17 mins 1 sec to avoid this content.) Plus - male journalists are writing more front page news articles than women. But are we surprised? Finally, thank you to everyone who attended the Women’s Agenda Leadership Awards this week! We share some of our highlights here. Thank you for listening! Stories discussed this week: Jen Robinson hates the phrase ‘imposter syndrome’: the reason why is a lesson for allThe exceptional winners of the 2024 Women’s Agenda Leadership Awards‘LinkedIn Lechers’ and why women tread cautiously on LinkedIn ‘A determination to change things’: Gisèle Pélicot testifies in court for the first timeMale journalists continue to author majority of front page news  The Women's Agenda Podcast is produced by Agenda Media, the 100% women-founded and owned media business, publishing the daily news publication Women’s Agenda.   Producers: Olivia Cleal and Allison Ho Hosted on Acast.

    A list of top creative directors - but where are the women?

    Another day, another list with a dire lack of women. Campaign Brief’s recent list of top creative directors in Australia featured just one woman on the list of 30. For those who want to raise the issue of merit - don’t even start. In other news, Australia’s birth rate has officially reached its lowest point. This week, Olivia Cleal and Tarla Lambert-Patel ask: is it really “sociopathic”, as JD Vance describes it, to not want to have children in the face of a global climate crisis?  Elsewhere, a bill to amend abortion rights in South Australia that has been described as “Trumpian”, “extreme” and “dangerous” was just one vote away from passing in the state’s parliament. We share more. Stories discussed this week: Ruth Chepngetich smashes marathon record by almost two minutesGrace Brown ends her cycling career on a spectacular highAustralia’s birth rate falls to lowest level on record‘Bizarre’: JD Vance dismisses women’s very real fears about having kids in a climate crisisNo one thought it would pass – but a ‘Trumpian’ South Australian bill on abortion almost did‘Toxic, misogynistic, exclusionary’: Campaign Brief criticised for male-dominated list of creative directors The Women’s Agenda Podcast is produced by Agenda Media, the 100% women-founded and owned media business, publishing the daily news publication Women’s Agenda.

    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. Stories discussed this week: Meet Sri Lanka’s new prime minister Dr Harini Amarasuriya  Jill Biden announces $731 million investment into women’s health‘I’m 99.
