Liberal MP Bridget Archer on life, trauma and crossing the floor against her party

Update: 2023-05-26

Description

This week, we talk to rebel Liberal MP Bridget Archer, who has crossed the floor 27 times since she joined federal parliament in 2019. Archer is calling for a revolution to take back the Liberal Party which she believes has strayed too far to the right and away from mainstream Australia.

Hosting this conversation about everything from Archer’s near death experience to her early years as a survivor of childhood sexual trauma, is Good Weekend senior writer Melissa Fyfe.
