[0:50:00] On Tram Thoughts, we discuss Feminist Policy in our cities and how we can think and look into new ideas for including women in the community. We touch on topics of apps to report sexual harassment, safe spaces at clubs and gigs, free sanitary items in schools, centres and pharmacies and an idea from Finland with giving men and women equal maternity leave. 

[1:06:00] Chris Schuringa joins us to talk about her organisation’s fight to protect the Victorian Greater Gliders, after the threat of the recent bushfires and continual logging in the Gliders natural habitats. We get an update on the injunction for the protection of the Central Highlands from logging and Wildlife of the Central Highlands (WOTCH) working with Environmental Justice Australia to cease logging in Victoria.
