Description
Welcome to The Sarah Hanson-Young Podcast. A place where we can have the important conversations about how we can make the world a better place and force politics to work for people - together.
Some people want you to believe that politics can't be fixed. Well, I disagree. I think we need to make politics a force for good, and you do that by having good conversations, calling out the bullshit when you see it, and standing up and holding power to account. Every single week, this podcast is where we can sit down and do that together.

In this week’s episode, Sarah says the backlash against data centres in Australia is because AI tech bros are coming to take communities’ water, power, and land - while communities are getting nothing in return.

Sarah talks about the crisis of violence against women in society more broadly and the role the tech giants play in driving hate and normal...

Spiderbait have played together for three decades, holding firm in the playlists of millennials and Gen Xers and now resurging with the next generations. Together, Janet shares with Sarah her experience being a woman...
In this week’s episode, Sarah says she has called on the Australian Government and e-Safety Commissioner to ban the livestream of an execution by firing squad in the US to ensure it is not shown in Australia. Sarah says this is an unconscionable, abhorrent act which will expose an immeasurable amount of people to harm, including children. She calls this heinous act by the Trump administration, a PR stunt and says this politics has echoes here in Australia with the likes of Pauline Hanson advo...
In this week’s episode, Sarah says she always wanted the podcast to be an opportunity for her to level with people and so that’s what she is doing this week on the Greens leadership. Sarah says this is much bigger than one person or one leader, there’s so much work to do taking on Pauline Hanson and the rabid right. Sarah says if we are going to fight for fairness and equality, for our real Aussie values, for our environment and a future for our kids - then we must be united. Sarah’s special ...
