Women At Work

Why we need more women in politics with Licia Heath


Listen Later

This year, the number of women in both houses of Parliament reached a record-making 50.5%, that's the highest number of women in Australian federal politics ever. And as Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made."

Today's guest, Licia Heath, shares RBG's sentiment, and has dedicated her work to getting more women into politics. Licia is CEO of not-for-profit, Women for Election, a non-partisan group committed to increasing the number of women in public office at local, state and federal levels.

She ran in the high-profile Wentworth by-election in October 2018 and says that she didn't get elected, but she did win. And now she helps others to win.

Licia has over 19 years' experience in the finance industry, established an asset management business, and does it all while raising two boys.
