Political reporter for The Guardian and sexual assault survivor Amy Remeikis joins me for International Women's Day to give an insider's view on the vile situation for women in politics - and beyond - in this country. The national conversation has erupted over the past 12 months and accusations from inside Parliament House itself continue to unfold. Amy reveals why the usual political deflection tactics didn't work, why it's perfect we're all angry and the shocking statistics that put Australia at the BOTTOM of all the latest global gender gap indexes.

International Women's Day is Tuesday, 8 March.
