Series: Beyond the Body: Women’s wellbeing- science, equity & impact

In this powerful episode, host Professor Amanda Henry is joined by co-host Associate Professor Mehera San Roque and guest Associate Professor Ann Kayis-Kumar to explore how economic abuse — a form of coercive control — plays out in Australia's tax system. Drawing on research and frontline legal experience, they reveal how tax debts are weaponised against victim-survivors, the urgent need for law reform, and the growing national advocacy to fix these hidden injustices. A must-listen conversation on financial abuse, policy change, and the intersections of gender, money and power.
