Join us in a compelling conversation with Jo Cooper, an Australian singer/songwriter, storyteller, and advocate whose vivacious spirit and unwavering passion drive her to stand up for what she believes in. Jo's resilience and determination shine through her story as a survivor of abuse and a long-time advocate against violence and bullying.


In 2015, Jo embarked on a legal battle against the Owners’ Corporation of her Darlinghurst apartment building to overturn a bylaw enforcing a blanket ban on pets. After a gruelling five-and-a-half-year fight, Jo's persistence paid off when the NSW Courts of Appeals ruled in her favour. On August 24, 2021, ten months after the court judgment, and thanks to Jo's relentless lobbying, the NSW Government implemented this outcome into legislation.


This landmark case has been named one of the top 10 most influential court cases of the 21st Century in Australia by the College of Law. Through this podcast, discover Jo Cooper's incredible journey, her advocacy for civil rights, and how she transformed personal adversity into a powerful movement for change.
