Barnaby Joyce seems to be getting away with his usual antics. Very few people are calling the Deputy Nationals leader out on his booze-fest last week - and it’s mainly women who are stepping up. What will it take for him to step down?

This week, journalist Olivia Cleal joins Tarla Lambert to discuss the wins in women’s sport from all ages, concerning research findings on women’s health and the “vague” language in job ads stopping women from applying.

Stories from this week include:

• Aussie surfer Molly Picklum scores first women’s perfect 10 at Pipeline
• ‘You are more capable than you think’: 92-year-old breaks water skiing record
• How Barnaby Joyce’s booze fest made me reflect on my own obvious bias
• HILDA study shows young women experience higher levels of psychological distress
• Vague language in job ads can push women away. New research shows how employers can attract more female applicants
