Local Government is the level of government closest to the people. So, how can we be agents of change? Joining Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes remotely in this episode is fellow female Lord Mayors Sally Capp (Melbourne), Anna Reynolds (Hobart) and Sandy Verschoor (Adelaide). Together they share some of the wins and challenges that have shaped them into the leaders they are today and reflect on their cities’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and other major issues of the day, including climate change and diversity.
