• how anika wells became australia's minister of sport

  Australia's Minister of Sport, Anika Wells, was born and raised in Queensland. She grew up playing many sports including netball, touch football, tennis and was even a gymnast. While she spent the early years of her career practising as a lawyer, when her daughter was born, she decided she wanted to make the world a better place for her and ran for her local seat of Lilley.In 2019, Wells became Australia’s youngest female MP when she was elected to parliament. She is currently the Minister for Aged Care and Sport, and has a particular love for the way that sport ‘makes you want to hug strangers’.Chloe chats with Anika about a variety of the Australian government’s polices that affect women in sport, including: Play Our Way, Sport Diplomacy and – Sports Horizon.

The minister was not provided with any interview questions before hand and was only briefed on the broad topics we wanted to discuss within her sports portfolio. The Female Athlete Project also reached out to the Shadow Minister for Sport, however, at the time this episode dropped, we are yet to hear back regarding her availability.

• tackling gender-based violence in rugby league with journalist marlee silva

  Marlee Silva is a renowned Australian Rugby League journalist. Her love for the game began practically from the moment she was born, which was just three days before her dad won a premiership with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.As a Dunghutti and Gamilaroi woman, storytelling has been part of Marlee’s Indigenous Australian culture for over 60,000 years. So as a proud supporter of the NRLW, it only felt natural that telling stories about women’s rugby league is what Marlee was destined to do.But now she’s dipped into Longform storytelling to tackle some of the biggest issues within the game. This week Chloe caught up with Marlee following the release of her new documentary: Skin in the Game.Skin in the Game examines the role that Rugby League has played in Australia’s history of domestic and family violence and what the sport can do to be part of the solution.
