This book sheds a light on one of the most frustrating situations that we witnessed in Australian politics in the last few years.
This has lit a fire inside me and I think I will look back at the time I read it and know it changed me for the better and gave me confidence.

Amy Remeikis is a powerful writer. In sharing her experiences, Remeikis puts the harsh spotlight on the hypocrisy and misogyny of the Morrison government and their continuous misfires and tone deaf statements. This is essential reading. It is time for a reckoning.

TW: sexual assault, rape, misogyny
Words can’t articulate the collective pain, rage and discomfort of women and non binary people after Brittany Higgins went public about the horrendous assault she experienced by a colleague whilst working in parliament.
No person should ever felt unsafe. At work, walking home, in their own home.
Amy’s words resonated with me. As a survivor myself, I can’t express how deeply ScoMo’s comments scarred me. A visceral fire developed in my veins that made me feel anger. The same anger I felt years later after understanding and coming to terms with my own experience of assault.
If you haven’t experienced sexual assault directly, you know someone who has. 1 in 4 women and non binary people have. Most women experience violence from a man they know. At least 1 women is murdered a week by their partners. This is information that everyone should know. No more burying your head in the sand, this is a time for reckoning.

Beautifully eloquent book, with a clear message.
The Government's response to sexual assault allegations in parliament are addressed, and highlight a lack of understanding and the absence of male political will to create change.
For me the key message is summed up in this line "None of us are equal until all of us are."
