What Will It Take For #MeToo To Happen In Australia? With Bri Lee

Hello muffins. This week we are so excited to bring you our conversation with Bri Lee, author of 2018’s award-winning smash hit book Eggshell Skull. Eggshell Skull documented Bri’s two-year long legal battle to get justice for an assault she experienced as a girl, and explains the many flaws in the Australian legal system, and how they stop victims from seeking justice. Bri, a trained lawyer, has also been an outspoken advocate for changing Australia’s strict defamation laws, arguing that they are holding our country back from a much-needed #MeToo reckoning. We talk to Bri about rape myths, the Geoffrey Rush and Dyson Hayden cases, about body image and the Australian fashion industry, and about an unspoken narrative that should have surrounded Amy Winehouse.
