The Very Public Private Lives Of Female Politicians

Following the shock resignation of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Friday, The Quicky reexamines the issue of why female politicians are subject to far more speculation and interrogation about their private lives than their male counterparts.

From salacious headlines and speculation, to an outpouring of support for her online, everyone has an opinion, but what does it actually mean to be a female politician in Australia? How much does gender play into the experiences of women in leadership?

The Quicky speaks to a Sydney journalist to consider the lives of Australia's female politicians, the standards society holds them to, and where we draw the line between a private life and public service.
