In this episode, we chat with Emma King, a mum, mining professional, and now the federal Liberal candidate for the seat of Shortland.
Emma shares how her career in heavy industry led her to advocate for sustainability, community programs, and action against modern slavery. She opens up about her passion for stronger domestic violence laws and what drove her to march in a protest while pregnant. We discuss the childcare system, the pressure on working mums, and why choice should be at the centre of the conversation.
Emma also reflects on her CrossFit community and how it’s become a village of support for local women. From learning to leadership, her story is one of grit, curiosity, and connection. If you’ve ever wondered how someone goes from the gym floor to the ballot box, this one’s for you.
