For this special Pathways to Politics event held prior to the 2020 federal election, Carol Schwartz AO spoke to leading journalist, author and television presenter Virginia Trioli about key election issues, challenges and themes that emerged as the campaign unfolded.

This has been a fascinating moment in Australian political history both in terms of women running in federal politics across the political spectrum, and the potential impact of female voters on the outcome of the election.

The discussion explores what policy issues were and weren’t being debated in the lead up to the election, and the role of the media in shaping public perceptions.
