Journalist Alison Mau has built a glittering career on fighting for the underprivileged and underrepresented. A former television news-anchor, she’s since hosted and reported for shows such as Fair Go, Breakfast and Seven Sharp, and more recently co-hosted RadioLive’s drive programme.

Since February of this year, she’s led a team of journalists at Stuff.co.nz, investigating sexual harassment nationwide as part of the #MeToo movement. Stewart Sowman-Lund spoke with Ali to talk about her work looking into abuses of power, and starting by asking her whether the ongoing Kavanaugh trial in America is the sort of story that inspires her to keep investigating stories affecting women.
