With the exception of South Australia, every state of Australia has had a female Premier, all of whom have represented the Australian Labor Party.
Tonight, our special guest is the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister For Health, Leesa Vlahos.
Leesa shares her journey to politics and belief in her role in the political process and along the way we learn of her influences and challenges.
Leesa has also provided the SA Drink Of The week.
Later in the show, she’ll be asked to robe up and be a guest judge in The Adelaide Visa Council.
Given we are in the hallowed halls of parliament, Nigel has pulled together a politics-themed IS IT NEWS
George Inglis has his thought for the week.
Our music this week is from Kylie Brice Trio – Journey To Myself
In the MADE TO MOVE MINUTE, Max Martin discusses food for humans: the food industry’s experiment with a dodgy ethics department.
And David Washington from In Daily will start the show with the midweek news wrap, Talk Of The Town.
