  • Sanitised discussion

    Was a fan until the discussion around UNHCR and refugees… and not once was Gaza and what’s happening to Palestinians was mentioned.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Suzie Miller on theatre as a force for social change
Q: How did Prima Facie come to be and what was the origin moment for the play?
Suzie explains that the core inspiration came from a feminist critique of jurisprudence she encountered in university, the realization that law often fails victims, and the need to tell individual stories on stage to reveal systemic issues, which then crystallized into a one-woman show that could travel and resonate internationally.
Catherine & Naomi on job sharing & diversity in national security
Q: Can you talk to me about what motivated you?
Naomi explains that as you get older, you realize that things are more complicated than they seem, and working in national security allows you to bring your personal values into your work.
Kelly T. Clements on the global refugee and foreign aid crisis
Q: Can you give us a sort of example about what this would mean to an individual woman or girl?
We're reducing our capacity to provide critical support; for example, a woman in Ukraine faced losing her home due to conflict, which jeopardizes assistance programs that could help her rebuild.
Kelly T. Clements on the global refugee and foreign aid crisis
Q: Can you take me back to first going to Cox Bazaar? I mean, you're a girl from Maine, you would have had all of your educational experiences, but I'm presuming nothing prepared you for that.
Cox Bazaar was an intense experience; there were challenging situations, including families in danger and women facing specific risks.
Katherine Bennell-Pegg on making history as Australia's first astronaut, the intense training and why space travel is worth the risks
Q: Is that realistic? Is that where we're heading as a species?
Bennell-Pegg believes we will explore and utilize space while learning from past mistakes, ensuring that the benefits of such endeavors are shared among all humanity.
