Dr Blair Williams on Gender, Independents & the ‘Woke’ Election War

Society & Culture

As Australia gears up for the federal election, we’re diving into the politics of representation, gender, and power with Dr Blair Williams, Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at Monash University.

In this insightful JOY Breakfast chat, Tamzyn and CJ explore:

  • Why independent women candidates are gaining traction

  • How major parties are (or aren’t) supporting women’s political leadership

  • The Coalition’s push against so-called ‘woke’ agendas

  • The impact of media, messaging, and gender on election outcomes

  • What real progress could look like

It’s a must-listen for anyone curious about the gender dynamics shaping this election.
