Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

INTERVIEW: Life as an Epstein survivor
Q: What is your advice, Lisa, to young people especially, and particularly women who may right now find themselves in a situation that you found yourself in when you were 20 or 21 that makes them feel powerless?
Phillips encourages young people to use their voice, assert boundaries, say no, and tell someone as soon as possible if abuse occurs. She says staying silent can harm mental health.
INTERVIEW: Life as an Epstein survivor
Q: How did you get away from him in the end?
Phillips says she and other women began talking after a friend described Epstein forcing her to be with a man. They recognized that the same pattern was affecting them, and she left for Los Angeles in 2004 as Epstein began facing trouble.
Israel's election deadlock + what an Epstein survivor wants young Australians to know
Q: What is your advice, Lisa, to young people especially, and particularly women who may right now find themselves in a situation that you found yourself in when you were 20 or 21 that makes them feel powerless?
Phillips advises young people to use their voice, assert boundaries, and speak up before, during and after an abusive situation. She says they should tell someone promptly if something happens rather than keeping it to themselves.
Israel's election deadlock + what an Epstein survivor wants young Australians to know
Q: Do you think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019?
Phillips says she does not believe he killed himself, arguing that she felt he expected to escape consequences and had people who could help him.
DEEP DIVE: Do Australian workers need reproductive leave?
Q: Why should reproductive health leave be separate from increased sick leave?
O'Shea says menstruation is a natural bodily function and that dedicated leave and flexibility can address stigma and workplace inflexibility while helping people manage reproductive health conditions.
