BONUS: Our cost of living crisis + Proposed City of Melb Family Policy with Jamal Hakim & Michael Ray

Season 9, Ep. 156
ā€¢

Bringing you this bonus episode which is a little different for Parenthood Pod but what I felt was an important conversation. I read about the proposed Family Policy by Lord Mayor candidate Jamal Hakim and wanted to get Jamal and Michael Ray family advocate who also contributed to the policy, on the show to better understand how government can support us with the crazy cost of living. In this chat we discuss:


šŸŽ™ Having childcare facilities in our workplaces. Can this really work for business?


šŸŽ™ Local Family Card; to discount council run services. Will this really move the needle?


šŸŽ™ An overhaul of public spaces to cater for family needs. How critical is this?


šŸŽ™ Gender inequity that exists in our society. How is it having an impact on parents?


šŸŽ™ The gender pay gap. Itā€™s implications on who can care for our children.


And so much moreā€¦
