Katherine Deves: In her own words
Manage episode 329193417 series 2432611
The question, “What is a woman?” has become the barbecue stopper of the 2022 election, thanks in part to the pre-selection of a courageous and outspoken candidate in the seat of Warringah in Northern Sydney.
Katherine Deves’ campaign for the rights of biological females not to compete against transgender women in sport has generated a level of media coverage that most candidates could only dream of.
The price she has paid, however, is to be subjected to a vicious and intimidating attack which would have driven others into hiding. The mainstream media, by and large, has joined the pile-on, condemning her views as unconscionable and her candidacy dead.
None of her critics, and sadly all too few of the journalists who have written about Katherine, have taken the trouble to actually listen to what she is saying.
Deves joins Nick Cater for a Watercooler Conversation aimed at correcting that imbalance. She speaks candidly about her experiences on the campaign trail and why she is putting her head above the parapet to fight for the rights of women and girls.
