Roundup Unfiltered - Towards Parity in Local Government

In this edition of Roundup Unfiltered, Chris Eddy is joined by two advocates for gender equality in the sector - both at the elected level and in senior roles at councils around the country.

Ruth McGowan OAM literally wrote the book on getting elected to local, state and federal politics, and runs her own business training candidates and coaching councillors.

Kerry Wilson is an experienced public servant and co-founder of the Put Her Name On It movement, which is working to ensure that women have an equal place in public place-naming and commemoration.
