In this week’s episode, Sarah says that while One Nation's Malcom
Roberts says he’s in two minds about whether LGBTIQA+ Australians
are equal - she wonders if he even has one mind. These kinds of
comments are not mistakes, this is the worldview of One Nation.
All too often, the media dismisses these comments as just another
kooky MP from the fringes of Pauline Hanson’s political party -
but it’s time we acknowledge it for what it is. One Nation is a
party built on hatred and othering and they need to be called out
for it.

Sarah’s special guest this week is Chanel Contos, sexual consent
activist, founder of Teach Us Consent, and author of Consent Laid
Bare. It’s a name you’re hearing a lot right now but how did
Chanel get here and why is she so passionate about combatting
men’s violence? Sarah and Chanel speak about the shocking sexual
assaults that are dominating headlines from private school boys
to AFL players, what is driving this behaviour in boys and young
men in particular, and the work that needs to be done to change
it. With dangerous algorithms and toxic social media feeds
fuelling misogynistic and sexist behaviour, much of the culture
change that’s desperately needed must come from regulating big
tech and disrupting their profit models. Chanel has been driving
the #FixOurFeeds campaign, where social media users would be able
to switch their algorithm on or off. Sarah currently has a bill
before the parliament to do just that.
