girls to the mic

Your alternative to talkback! One sweet hour of Australian politics, news, and current affairs. Totally robust, never mendacious. On this very special International Women's Day edition, learn about the origins of International Women's Day within the workers rights movement. We talk to Kate Doak about what's happening to public housing right now and what it means for women, and more specifically how changes will affect trans women. We talk to Yolanda Beattie from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency about the importance of gathering data on women in the workplace, and how the gender pay gap works. Meet Hayley McQuire, a UNICEF Australia Young Ambassador. Plus, we celebrate the fact that the Minister for Women, a man, is now a feminist while the female Senator assisting him refuses to identify as one, and we explore why so many engaged and educated women who believe in equality share that reluctance to identify as feminists. Presented by AH Cayley and Heidi Pett. Produced by Andrew Rhodes. Produced by FBi Radio, Sydney.
