Slowly though, the tide is turning, and light is shining through to the toxic culture at the heart of our democracy. In the final episode of The Mirror, we look at what progress has been made for women in politics and what the future holds for Australia’s next female Prime Minister - whenever that might be. There have been some updates since we recorded this episode in relation to the Bruce Lehrmann trial. If you want some more information on what's happened since, you can listen to a more recent deep dive here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
