53# Are Women Too Emotional to Lead? From Net Zero to the EPBC Act — What’s Really Happening in Australian Agriculture. 💋 First up, they chat about the upcoming Makeup Night Fundraiser — featuring the one and only Alastair, our farm-bingo-host-slash-makeup-queen! Tickets are live now and all proceeds support the Harvest Her Power Conference — empowering rural women and farm families across Australia.🌿 Then things get serious. The ladies unpack the Nationals’ decision to walk away from net zero, what it actually means for Australian farmers, and why it’s more than just a political headline. Gillian breaks down the EPBC Act reforms and the real impact they could have on farming communities and food production.🏆 Big shout-out to Carol Mudford, founder of sHedway, for winning the AgriFutures Rural Woman of the Year Award! Katja shares how Carol’s work in suicide prevention and mental health support in shearing sheds is transforming rural Australia.💪 Finally, the big question: “Are women too emotional to lead?” Katja and Gillian unpack this outdated myth with honesty, humour, and lived experience — calling out the double standards and celebrating women’s leadership in farming, business, and community life.💕 Support Our PartnersLinksTICKETS - https://www.123tix.com.au/events/50480/beauty-banter-brushes-a-night-with-alastair-moseyRemember those 80s and 90s glamour shots that made us look ten years older than we were?
