109-michelle-lensink-steve-davisWho pays the most for sex work in South Australia? Michelle Lensink argues that women do and the longer we delay decriminalisation the more women will pay the price.

Michelle is deputy leader in the upper house and takes time out to give us a glimpse into her life in politics, her private members bill, impending parenthood and good posture.

In IS IT NEWS, Nigel tests us on the theme, Politics.

Max Martin asks: “Is Wall-E a prediction of our kids future? Will we be a nation of hunchbacks?”

Our SA Drink of the week is another Shiraz from the Coonawarra.

George Inglis reflects on the wicked problems of water.

In music, we hear a song about water.

In the Adelaide Visa Council, we have a panda-sized debate.

But first, David Washington from In Daily presents his midweek news wrap, Talk Of The Town.

00:16:20 Michelle Lensink
When I told George Inglis we had Michelle Lensink MLC on our program he said, my god, she is shadow minister of just about everything. That’s not quite the case but she does have a varied and interesting portfolio with many areas close to the heart of South Australians, from water and the River Murry, to the status of women. But she’s also been in the news lately because of her private members bill, Statutes Amendment (Decriminalisation of Sex Work) Bill.
