In this final episode of our BroadTalk Election22 series we rip into what happened to turn the Australian federal election into a watershed moment for women and why!

At the end of what feels like a long and bitter federal election campaign, Virginia is joined by award winning journalist, Jess Hill, acclaimed author Nikki Gemmell, and one of Australia’s most powerful businesswomen, Carol Schwartz AO.

The BroadTalkers tackle the leaked draft judgement in the US that threatens to fundamentally shift the dial back on abortion rights, the spectacle of soft-shouting blokes at the leaders' debates, and climate change.

We’ve made it past the half way point of the election campaign! Give yourself a pat on the back for making it this far and enjoy our amazing panel casting a gender lens over the week in politics.

What does Elon Musk's potential takeover of Twitter mean for women's opportunities to engage in public debate? What's the best way to deal with online trolls and abuse? And what does John Howard calling the Teal independents 'anti-Liberal groupies' say about the state of the Liberal party?

It's week two of Australia's Federal Election campaign - a week of hard hats and hi-vis, of infrastructure and economy announcements, and a culture war attack on the rights of trans women.

We're back, BroadTalkers! And in this special series we cast a razor-sharp gender lens over the politics, policy, and pork-barrelling of Australia's Federal Election 2022. Joining Virginia Haussegger to discuss the first week of campaigning are Jane Caro and Georgie Dent.
