Has the Coalition lost the female vote?
A poll released last week showed the PMs approval rating dropped 10 points in a fortnight to 57 percent and what’s interesting is that his approval with women voters is down 16 points since the Britney Higgins story broke - but with male voters his approval rating has remained relatively unchanged. Dr Sarah Cameron, a political scientist in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Sydney joins us to discuss whether the Coalition has lost the female vote. Has the Coalition’s recent cabinet changes; and the announcement it will implement all 55 recommendations in the Respect@Work report; changed voters’ intentions? Has the Coalition lost the female vote?

Australia's vaccine rollout debacle
The Morrison government promised the vast majority of Australians would be vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of October. It’s now been revised to the end of April 2020. Paul Cross runs three online trade magazines focusing on the pharmaceutical industry. He’s been watching developments closely and says the Commonwealth, while wanting to shine in the spotlight by rolling out the jab, has no experience in the space. The states traditionally dole out vaccines. So where does the stand-off end? When will the average 30-year-old get their Covid jab?

How to get a pay rise!!
The gender wage gap is at more than 13 percent. But it’s not always a woman being paid less for doing the same job as a man, it’s often the type of roles women do. Meggie Palmer developed what’s called PepTalkHer, a site for teaching women the skills needed to get a better deal in the workforce. So how do we secure fairer and more equitable pay for people like nurses, nursing home staff and people at the front line of critical care – roles usually performed by women?

But the former French spy we're speaking to, has moved to Australia and he’s written about his 9 years in the French secret service under the guise of fiction using a fictional alias... Jack Beaumont... the book’s called The Frenchman.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Hillsong still a ‘rockstar’ church?
Christianity is on the decline in Australia. In 1966, 88 percent of the Australian population identified as Christian. In 2016 - 50 years later - that figure was down to 52 per cent. But there’s one Christian denomination bucking the trend, Pentecostalism. Aka the religion of our current Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Prof Andrew Singleton, from Deakin University joins us to talk through the rise of Pentecostalism, and whether the charismatic churches rely on migrants to stay on top.
