Speaker 2: looked up to throughout our whole life. So I've got

13

Speaker 2: my mum to kick things off first and Penny, Hello, Mom,

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: Hi dying.

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: First off, Penny, has there been any bigger challenge than

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 3: looking after Will?

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: In his challenge? A challenge and a privilege? Woody? Of course,

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: absolutely privilege? Whatever what a privilege?

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: Now? Mum, So I know you're going to downplay this

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: a little bit, but speaking of choosing to challenge, I

21
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: know you've been challenging yourself over in p andng in

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: over the last what five or six years now, You've

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: been going over there with INTERPLAST, and I know they've

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: got some really horrific injuries over in p and G

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: because men are legally allowed to carry hunting knives machetes,

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: and as a result, the domestic violence is outrageous and

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: women suffer awful injuries and you're on the scene there

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: essentially showing them how to treat them and working with

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: them on rehabilitation, which is wild.

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I have been really privileged to work within

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: the PLAST for the last ten years, both in Bangladesh

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: and now in Mdang, which is a province of Papua

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: New Guinea, and the women I work with there are

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: extraordinarily brave women. One of the women are Mentor, lives

35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: in a house of twenty four people live in the

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: house and she actually shares her bed with three other

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: people her needs and I've just so blown away by

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: the fact that they are So I'm complaining, but we're

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: really trying to make a change and to try and

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: help them understand that there shouldn't be such a thing

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: as a bride's price. And so what we're trying to

42
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: do is really raise the profile of women and just

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: to let them understand that feminism isn't about making women stronger.

44
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: world perceives that strength.

46
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: Well said Panting, I love what you said. There have

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: been famous. Isn't about, you know, women becoming stronger. They're

48
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: already strong. It's more about the perception that people have

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: of them. What do you think is the key for

50
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: people's perception of women and their strength to change.

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure, Woody, other than the fact that

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: you know that within the workplace they're not seen as leaders.

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: The percentage of women that compromise all employees in Australia's

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: only forty seven percent, and they take home less than

55
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: I think it's something like two hundred and vigilos less

56
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: than every man every week. So it's making the make

57
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: people aware that this gender gap still does exist. So

58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: it's about raising their profile as strong, independent and steadfast

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: people who are unwavering in their desire to be seen

60
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: as equals.

61
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: It's good stuff, Mauam, It's really good stuff. It's amazing

62
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: stuff that you've done over there, and I think it

63
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: really ties in with exactly what's going on with International

64
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: Women's Day today. So thanks so much for coming on

65
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: the show and telling us about all you've done, and

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm also really proud of you for everything you've done

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: over there as well. It's really amazing and I know

68
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: you're going to play it down, but you did win

69
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: an award from the Government General.

70
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, we do, we do playing

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: things down. But I think the thing is that you

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: have to accept that it's really our privilege to be there.

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: It's not the work that I do. It's it's my

74
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: absolute you know, it's my privilege to be there. And

75
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: to see these women growing in confidence is just such

76
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: a joy.

77
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 3: That's good. You're very humble about all that stuff, Penny,

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: which is a direct contrast to how arrogant you are

79
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 3: about your performance on the tennis court. When am I

80
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: going to get a chance to take you on, Penn?

81
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: Whenever you're ready? Wouldy? I'm there?

82
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: Okay, beautiful. She keeps telling me that.

83
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: Through at the back of the court. All right, thanks, mom,

84
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: it's been a pleasure, all right, good, yeah, all right.

00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: I hear more of the boys on the Full Show podcast.
