In this week's episode we talk to Georgia Tree, Policy Advisor to the Shadow Minister for Trade and Resources Madeleine King MP.

A warning - this episode more substantially discuss sexual harassment and sexual assault than our initial two episodes.

In March this year, Georgia organised a sit-in in the meditation room of Parliament House following reports of male staffers masturbating on the desk of a female Member of Parliament.

Georgia and I discuss the treatment of women in politics, her submission to the Independent Review into Commonwealth Parliamentary Workplaces and what needs to change.
