Power and Control: #Metoo hits Australia's power brokers

View descriptionShare

When alleged sexual harassment victims are used for "political point scoring", the motivations of our politicians becomes questionable.

Corrections Minister David Elliott's decision to air allegations against former opposition leader Luke Foley under parliamentary privilege, without the victim's consent, has led to Mr Foley's resignation, a defamation threat and a public apology.

This week on Please Explain, The Age's social affairs editor Miki Perkins, Women’s Agenda contributing editor Georgina Dent and activist and campaigner Sally Rugg discuss the impact #metoo has on the powerful.

Jacqueline Maley also speaks with senior crime reporter John Silvester on the devastating impact the Bourke St attack has had on Melbourne.
