Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny: The coronavirus care deficit and scrapping the snapback

Abstract

On this episode, we chat with Tim Costello AO and Virginia Haussegger AM about the impact of the coronavirus on charities and women in Australia. What has the COVID-19 crisis revealed about who is doing the heavy lifting in Australia? With charities struggling to elicit donations, what does that mean for those in need who depend on the support of these organisations? And with a highly gender-segregated workforce and a significant gender pay gap, what do the economic upheavals brought on by COVID-19 in Australia mean for women? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Professor Mark Kenny speaks with Reverend Tim Costello AO, Virginia Haussegger AM, and Dr Marija Taflaga about COVID-19, the charitable sector, and the impact of the virus on women.
