I'm Billy FitzSimons. This gives The Mirror. 37 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: On the fifteenth of March twenty twenty one, a woman 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 3: wearing black got on a tram in Adelaide. 39 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 9: So I usually every day get on the tram go 40 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 9: to work. 41 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: This is Chelsea. She's a former staffer for a Liberal senator. 42 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 9: And I sort of sat down and then I noticed 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 9: that the woman next to me was wearing black. The 44 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 9: woman in front of me was wearing black. The woman 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 9: across the way was wearing black. 46 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 7: It was just this. 47 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 9: Unspoken thing where we all kind of acknowledged each other 48 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 9: and knew exactly what was going on. But if you'd 49 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 9: spoken to a man in that tram, they wouldn't have 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 9: had any clue. 51 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: It was the day of the March for Justice, a 52 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: protest that called for safer workplaces, including in Parliament. Organizers 53 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 3: asked to wear black to show solidarity with victim survivors. 54 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 9: It was the most amazing act of solidarity I've ever seen. 55 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: Chelsea came forward with her allegation in twenty nineteen. 56 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 10: Chelsea Potter, who worked for a federal minister, a colleague 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 10: sexually assaulted her in camber in twenty fifteen. 58 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 3: In the years that followed, others came forward with allegations, 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: including Brittany Higgins, who we have talked about before. Just 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 3: after we released episode three, the Act Supreme Court ruled 61 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: a mistrial in the case against Bruce Lherman. As part 62 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: of Chief Justice Lucy McCallum's comments that day, she ordered 63 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: that reporting on the matter falls silent. This is so 64 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: that when a new jury is gathered in February next year, 65 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: the risk of them having preconceived ideas of guilt or 66 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: innocence are lowered, and so in this episode we won't 67 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: be speaking about that allegation. But this isn't a podcast 68 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: about one person. It's about a movement. 69 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 11: Tens of thousands of women and allies and over forty 70 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 11: locations are taken to the streets of Australia today to 71 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 11: say enough is enough. 72 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: In every state and territory, women were marching. 73 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 8: Bold and angry. 74 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 12: Science proudly held high as the crowd gathers at Hobart's 75 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 12: Parliament lauds. 76 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 10: In Melbourne there were up to ten thousand protests. 77 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 13: Thousands marched for justice in Perth today. 78 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 8: Sharing a message and chanting as one. 79 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 9: No, yeah, women in this great complete just validation.

The women's vote killed him, just killed him, 314 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 15: and just killing but killed people like Josh Friedenberg. 315 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 3: Josh Friedenberg was the treasurer in Morrison's government. 316 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 15: Josh Reckons only about thirty five percent of the women 317 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 15: in his seat voted for him. 318 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 3: His seat was taken by Teal independent doctor Manique Brayan. 319 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 14: Look, there's a review into why we lost the election, 320 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 14: and it's had a record number of submissions, and I 321 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 14: don't want to preamp what it might find except to 322 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 14: say that we will honestly consider all of its findings. 323 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 14: So I'm not going to accept that there was one reason. 324 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 14: In fact, I know there wasn't. There were many reasons, 325 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 14: and there were many different views, and there were many 326 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 14: different responses in different parts of the country. Because, for example, 327 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 14: in my own electric I had a swing towards me 328 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 14: and people were quite happy with the government, obviously not 329 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 14: the case in many other seats. 330 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 3: She says, women spoke to her about the allegations that 331 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: had come out of Canberra. 332 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 14: When I spoke to women, they talked about the events 333 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 14: triggering events that they had individual faced in their own homes, 334 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 14: in their own lives, in their own communities, and in 335 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 14: their own workplaces. That this touched a chord and from 336 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 14: that chord sprung feelings of anger and disappointment. 337 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: A record number of women were elected to Parliament in 338 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty two election. Australia also elected its most 339 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 3: diverse parliament yet.

In nineteen ninety nine, 355 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 24: my late father risked his life and left his family 356 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 24: behind to traverse the Indian Ocean for eleven days and 357 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 24: eleven nights in the hope of finding safety and security 358 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 24: for his wife, two daughters and a son. 359 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: On his way, Payman's father didn't get to see her 360 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 3: make her maiden speech in the Senate. He died of 361 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 3: leukemia in twenty eighteen. 362 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 25: Life is short and very unpredictable, so we cannot even 363 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 25: take a moment for granted. I have realized that in 364 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 25: order to live a productive and impactful life and contribute 365 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 25: towards my father's legacy, I must seize every opportunity that 366 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 25: comes my way. 367 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 9: Carpe DM. 368 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 3: When Paymin decided to run for the Senate, she never 369 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 3: thought she would succeed. It is an unwinnable seat, but 370 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 3: here we are growing up. She didn't aspire to go 371 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 3: into politics. 372 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 25: So my parents were like, become a doctor, and I 373 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 25: was like. 374 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 6: Sure thing. 375 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 3: And seeing what Julie Gillard went through didn't help. 376 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 25: You just realized that politics can be quite brutal to women. 377 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 3: Payman was seventeen when Gillard made ho misogyny speech. 378 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 25: It was just ticking every box. You're like, oh my god, 379 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 25: I feel that, Oh my goodness. You know, we do 380 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 25: deserve better. 381 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 3: And so now in Parliament herself, she has a poster 382 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 3: of the speech outside the door of her office. 383 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 25: Because it's just a reminder that, you know, we've come 384 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 25: a long way, but there's so much more work to 385 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 25: be done. 386 00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 9: You know. 387 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 25: I've been asked questions after my election, things like how 388 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 25: long did it take you to practice your accent? It's 389 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 25: like I came here as an eight year old and 390 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 25: I've just spoken like this is my whole entire life. 391 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 25: It's not like I stood in front of mirror practiced 392 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 25: my English. It may not be sexism, and I may 393 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 25: not have walked through the corridors of Parliament and received 394 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 25: that condescending tone of like, oh you're a little girl, 395 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 25: or shut up and sit down because you don't know 396 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 25: what you're talking about. But there's still so much work 397 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 25: to be done. 398 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: The question is will that work be done by the 399 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: time Australia has its second female prime minister. Regardless of 400 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 3: what she looks. All sounds like I'm optimistic. 401 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 25: Australia has shown their appetite for diversity, for inclusion and 402 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 25: ensuring that female voices are at the forefront. So I 403 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 25: definitely think that, you know, our future female Prime minister 404 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 25: may have her own challenges in ways, but it will 405 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 25: not be sexism. In fact, I think we're past that, 406 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 25: and I think Julia's definitely paved the way and she's 407 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 25: done the hard yards for us to be where we 408 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 25: are today. 409 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 9: People know they're on notice. 410 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: Sarah Hanson Young is a Green Senator. She's been in 411 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 3: Parliament for nearly fifteen years, and. 412 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 7: It's improving because a light has been shone on it 413 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 7: and people have spoken up and called it out and 414 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 7: have been vulnerable in doing that. 415 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 9: It's nowhere near fixed or. 416 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 7: Perfect, but it has definitely changed, and the culture is 417 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 7: changing and the understanding that people will be held to account. 418 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 7: Whereas for me and for Julia Gillard and for other 419 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 7: women who came before us, you were just expected to 420 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 7: suck it up. 421 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 9: We have been through a really horrible time. It's been 422 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 9: really hard, but we have to seize the momentum. It 423 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 9: can be a generational change that gets us closer to 424 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 9: equality in the parliament and equality in the community. 425 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 5: What I am absolutely confident of is it will be 426 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 5: easier for the next woman and the woman after that 427 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 5: and the woman after that. And I'm proud of plant. 428 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 3: If this episode has brought up any issues for you, 429 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 3: you can call one eight hundred respect on one eight 430 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 3: hundred seven three seven seven three to two.
