Government and The PPE Scandal: Should the Government Be Held More Accountable For The Use of Public Funds?
The ladies are back and this week they’re delving into the PPE scandal that is currently dominating the headlines. But, the PPE fiasco isn’t the real problem. The real problem is how the government and elected officials handle public money. Tracy and Dawn don’t hold back as they discuss government contracts, the misuse of public funds and the lack of accountability that means these problems keep happening.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Dawn, who doesn’t listen to the news, get’s the low down on the PPE scandal from Tracy.
- The ladies share their outrage over the fact that government contracts are not held up to the same regulatory standards as private sector contracts and what they think should change.
- Dawn talks about the reality of contracts in all sectors and how it’s never a case of awarding the contract to the best candidate.
- The ladies debate the extent of Baroness Mone’s involvement in the PPE scandal and why she is being targeted by the press as the only guilty party.
BEST MOMENTS
“Back door deals are a lot more common than most people would believe.”
“Why are people in the government not held to the same standards that the government regulatory bodies hold other industries to?”
“The people that run our country are supposed to be intelligent. If they’re not clever enough to do a check on a balance sheet then we’re in trouble.'

ABOUT THE HOSTS
Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up of all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets. But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.
Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick. Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.
Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old-fashioned northern humility.
PODCAST DESCRIPTION
The business of being a real woman juggling life, love and work for many of us is pure sweat, grit & hustle. This podcast is for those of you who are tired of the “noise” and just want real down-to-earth gossip with no filters or fluff. Dawn and Tracy bring heartfelt humour, raw honesty, spandex, stilettos, and intelligent conversion on being a real woman in today's world.
