Coral Ross Churchill Local Government gender equality research

Sunday December 22 was the 100th anniversary of the election of Susan Grace Benny to Brighton Council in South Australia (now Holdfast Bay). She was the first woman elected to any tier of government in Australia. Image courtesy of City of Holdfast Bay

Radio Interview On Saturday night I joined Dr Sally Cockburn on her national radio program. We  talked with about my Churchill Fellowship to improve gender equality in local government and the current Australian statistics. It was great to get listener feed back and interest in my project. Sally was interested in talking to me following her photo shoot to highlight how few female Mayors have been elected to Bayside Council. Listen to my radio interview here.
