Tanya Plibersek is arguably Labor's most high-profile female politician. Once described as the next female prime minister, she rose through the ranks to become deputy leader at one point, and was most recently the party’s education spokesperson. But Labor’s election to power after almost a decade in opposition has had unexpected consequences for Plibersek – she’s found herself in a new portfolio, facing a new challenge. And it’s a monumental one: she’s now the minister for the Environment and Water. Today, writer and contributor to The Monthly, Chloe Hooper, takes us inside how Tanya Plibersek found herself here, and what she plans to do about it.Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram.Guest: Contributor to The Monthly, Chloe Hooper.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
