A speaker argues that bullying and harassment in Australian media and corporate sectors demand urgent action. Parliamentary inquiries are now examining business leaders' conduct, but the speaker says current efforts fall short. Real change requires a broader upstander movement and a generational willingness to speak up.

Chapters

It sounds terrible, but in recent times, unfortunately, we've had a lot of bullying and harassment in the media. While it's confronting, it's also quite exciting for someone that's in a business like mine because finally we're having reports commissioned into our parliament. We're having to look under the hood of, you know, the organisation and business leaders of our country, and it is confronting and upsetting that those business are happening even though we know they're happening. So in Australia, we have got such a long way to go. And that's why in my book I talk about, you know, it's not gonna change overnight. And that's why I'm focusing on the rest of my life and like my leadership and the legacy, but also it's going to be a generational change. And we are starting to see emergence of people speaking up now. And we'll talk a little bit about the generations and some of the observations around that. But in short, are we doing enough? Absolutely not.
