BONUS: Our cost of living crisis + Proposed City of Melb Family Policy with Jamal Hakim & Michael Ray
Description
Bringing you this bonus episode which is a little different for Parenthood Pod but what I felt was an important conversation. I read about the proposed Family Policy by Lord Mayor candidate Jamal Hakim and wanted to get Jamal and Michael Ray family advocate who also contributed to the policy, on the show to better understand how government can support us with the crazy cost of living. In this chat we discuss:
🎙 Having childcare facilities in our workplaces. Can this really work for business?
🎙 Local Family Card; to discount council run services. Will this really move the needle?
🎙 An overhaul of public spaces to cater for family needs. How critical is this?
🎙 Gender inequity that exists in our society. How is it having an impact on parents?
🎙 The gender pay gap. It’s implications on who can care for our children.
And so much more…
