Everybody Knows – Episode 3: A Broken System
Elisabeth Kramer recommends this entire five-part investigative podcast series, and this episode in particular: 'It's about sexual harassment in the music industry but also why #metoo never took off in Australia. I like the way it approaches victims' stories and really contextualises them in relation to existing networks and hierarchies.' (Note on access: this is an audio recording.)
'What lawyers can tell you is that for all of the high-profile cases that end up going to trial – there are few of them – there are so many more defamation threats that are sent to newspapers and to women threatening defamation proceedings…and this is the unseen problem, the problem that you don’t see, which is the amount of proceedings which are threatened which ultimately result in people self-censoring and not speaking publicly.'
