In this powerful episode, we sit down with Lisa Ward, CEO of the Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland (ECCQ), for a masterclass in authentic leadership. Lisa shares her incredible journey—from working under Prime Ministers Bob Hawke and Paul Keating to leading one of Australia’s most vital multicultural advocacy bodies.

Lisa pulls no punches as she critiques the "lazy politics of division," the hidden "inhumanity" in current migration shifts, and the high-stakes reform of the Australian Aged Care Act. This isn't just a policy talk; it’s a deep dive into the struggle with self-confidence, the power of deep listening, and why client-centric leadership is the only way to survive in a diversifying market.

What's in the episode:

-Political Wisdom: Lessons learned from the "Big Names" of Australian politics.

-Authentic Leadership: How to handle the "not enough" feeling while performing at a high level.

-The Future of Australia: Understanding why a Population Policy is the missing piece of our housing and infrastructure puzzle.

-Identity & Labels: A provocative look at why terms like "CALD" or "Marginalised" might be doing more harm than good.

Dive into the incredible journey of Andrea Musulin, a pioneer in child protection and protective behaviours education in Western Australia. In this special conversation, Andrea shares the powerful, life-defining moments that led her from the family market garden into a career in policing and ultimately sparked a 20-year mission to reform how the justice system responds to vulnerable children.

The conversation is an honest look at the emotional toll of frontline policing and the deep-seated faith that guided her through difficult transitions—from the police force to the Catholic Church, and now, as the Director of Child Focused Safety Service.
