Agenda

This week we spoke with writer, photographer, musician, pun aficionado, podcaster and occasional filmmaker Liz Duck-Chong on disarming sexism in the arts, the contraceptive pill and more. Plus, funding has been pulled from Soda_Jerk's film Terror Nullius, critiquing "radical critique of Australian masculinity, refugee policy and our treatment of the Indigenous Australians". The Ian Potter Cultural Trust pulled their funding of the film on the eve of its premiere at ACMI. And, in what is hoping to look like the beginning of the end for new HIV transmissions in Australia, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) will be listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme from April 1st this year. Thoughts That Count: Following Cynthia Nixon's announcement that she will challenge Governer Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary election, as Oprah's potential presidential campaign, we asked you: celebrities as politicians - Y/N? Is it a win for feminism?
