Joining Bridge this episode is one of the most prolific names in Australian politics, Georgie Purcell from the Animal Justice Party! On the cusp of turning 32, Georgie is the youngest woman in Victorian Parliament and undoubtedly one of the most authentic and refreshing figures we have seen in Australian politics, ever. In this candid conversation, Georgie opens up about her rise in politics as well as her personal life, sharing relationship details that she's never publicly revealed before. She also discusses her experience with two abortions and her journey in reconciling maternal desires, the significance of expressing herself through fashion in parliament, and how she navigates the challenge of separating her private life from such a scrutinized profession. This chat is definitely one for the books!
