Today we honour the passing of two warriors of the feminist fight Susan Ryan the first female federal minister in Australia and architect of the sex discrimination Act and Helen Reddy who penned the song that goes down in history of a succinct statement of purpose I am woman.

We’ll hear a piece from a speech Ryan gave to a Australian National University audience in the 1980’s about women and the political realm finishing with Reddy’s song.

We hear from the East Gippsland Despatches crew, the next instalment of Over the Wall on what Tenants can do under covid pressure.

Kevin rounds up the week and we’ll finish with a thorough round up of Australia’s role as the US shapes up against China from a piece from a recent IPAN seminar given by Macquarie Universities Vince Scappatura
