The Weekend Briefing with Special Guest Julia Gillard

Welcome to a special weekend edition of The Briefing with guest Julia Gillard.

In today’s episode, we catch up with Australia’s first and only female Prime Minister about her famous misogyny speech of 2012, how ultra macho leadership styles are letting us down during the pandemic, and her new book Women in Leadership.

In today's episode Julia Gillard speaks to us about:

  • The speech that turned her into a feminist hero
  • The fact she never expected her gender to be such a key point in her leadership of the country
  • Her take on some of the more controversial male leaders across the world during the pandemic
  • Whether New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern would ‘make it’ in Australian politics
  • Whether she expected her post-political life to centre around female leadership
  • Where she thinks the gender equality debate will be after the pandemic
  • What male leaders of today can do to pave the way for a more equal future
