Maria Maley joins Democracy Sausage to talk about what can be done to make parliament a less toxic workplace.

Who is responsible for controlling bad behaviour in parliament? What norms and traditions make parliament a toxic place for women? And what changes still need to be made?

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Dr Maria Maley joins Professor Mark Kenny to talk about making parliaments a safer place for everyone.
