Ep.89: Sex, Lies, and Question Time with Kate Ellis

Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by former federal Labor Minister in the Rudd and Gillard governments, Kate Ellis. Kate discusses her first book, “Sex, Lies, and Question Time,” a critical analysis and reflection from Ellis and 16 other political leaders across the political spectrum on the toxic culture in Canberra.She discusses why she broke her silence to write on this topic, what she learned from speaking to women politicians from across the political divide, why she interviewed Pauline Hanson, the role of media do and don’t play on the issue of workplace sexual harassment, and reflects on what needs to change to improve the culture inside the Canberra bubble. Get your copy of “Sex, Lies, And Question Time” here:  https://bit.ly/3us0PEVThe presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
