The Feminist Radical Podcast

I've got an insatiable curiosity about the world, and while politics has become captivating to me I've often wondered:How do people become the politicians we see on the TV? What's the first day of being an MP like? Can you really have heated debates in the chamber, and be mates outside the chamber? So many questions! So I asked my friend Stuart Grimley MP from the Derryn Hinch Justice Party to speak to us about exactly those things - what is it really like, being an MP?

CONTENT WARNING: Sexual AssaultPlease take appropriate steps to manage your emotional and physical wellbeing while listening - this episode mentions difficult subject matter and it's ok to tap out, or take a break or seek support if it brings anything up for you. Part 2 of what happens behind the scenes when I consult with the government on policy and legislation pertaining to sexual assault - it's raw and honest and I have immediately devoured a bag of Crispy m&m's to deal with my emotions (who doesn't?!)

I've been consulting with the Victorian Government for over 12 months now, and in this episode, I want to take you behind the scenes into what it's like to do these consults - the preparation and effort that goes into maximizing them as much as possible, for the best outcome for all Victorians (there 6 million of us!) and ensuring our justice system works the best it can. In the next episode, I'll talk you through how the meeting went and how I cool down from them!Social Links:IG @thefeministradicalTikTok @feministradicalTwitter @nerdypioneerEmail hello@ashleighrae.com
