SIM Ep 314 Pod 92: Elections, abuse and awareness

In this episode we chat to Fiona Mackenzie of We Can’t Consent To This, a campaign highlighting the alarming trend of men claiming ‘rough sex’ as a defence against injuring and killing women. Author and journalist Ella Dove tells us about being ‘temporarily incapacitated’ after an accident led to her leg being amputated below the knee at the age of 25. There are single mothers, sly tactics and “weapons-grade shithousery” in the Bush Telegraph, and it’s awards season in Jenny Off The Blocks. Plus, is it a dinosaur? Is it a gorilla? No, it’s Godzilla you idiots, in Dunleavy Does Disaster. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
