Minister Katy Gallagher carries deep, personal grief, and she's still fighting for the future of women.

Australia’s Minister for Finance, Women and the Public Service, Katy Gallagher joins Kate for a candid and deeply personal conversation about politics, motherhood, grief, and the quiet work of driving change at the highest levels of government.

From the heartbreaking loss of her partner to raising three children, one with complex needs, Katy shares how life experiences have shaped her political purpose and grounded her leadership style. She opens up about her biggest goal: ending violence against women and children within a generation, why financial security for women is essential to equality and what the finance portfolio really involves (hint: everything).

Kate and Katy talk about the challenge of engaging men and boys in the gender equality conversation and why men need to be part of the solution. They also unpack what it means to wield power responsibly - and why Katy thinks Australia’s democracy is something worth fiercely protecting.

Warm, insightful, and full of purpose, this is a conversation for anyone who wants a better, fairer Australia.
