News & Politics

Australian comedy and television royalty Magda Szubanski joins The Informer to chat about her multi-award winning memoir “Reckoning”, in which she opens up about what it was like to struggle with her sexuality during a time when being gay was still criminalised.

Szubanski also highlights same-sex marriage, and the discrimination still facing LGBTI youth across Australia today.

The Informer also speaks with Jane Green from Vixen Collection, Victoria’s peer led sex worker organisation, about Amnesty International’s recent call for the decriminalisation of sex work.
