The NDAs creating sweeping silence
<p>Non-disclosure agreements were designed decades ago as a means to protect trade secrets. Today, they're being overused (and many say abused), and have become an almost de-facto agreement as part of many settlements. From sexual harassment to unfair dismissal and sexual abuse cases, the victim survivors are being legally compelled to stay silent, even among family and close friends. In this episode, Broad Radio’s Jo Stanley is joined by Liberty Sanger and Jessica Dawson-Field from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Professor Julie Macfarlane and Wil Stracke, Assistant Secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall Council, to talk through the steps being taken across the board to remove these NDAs from settlements.</p><br><p>A Broad Generation production.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

When holidays are mentally hard
<p>Thanks to the partnership between Maurice Blackburn Lawyers and Mental Health Foundation Australia, this special episode takes a step away from conversations about the law, to explore ways for us to be mentally healthier.</p><p>For many, the end of year holidays are a time of intense stress and pressure. But there are some in our community who face greater challenges than most. From those living with a chronic illness or disability, to CALD communities, to adolescents, to people who are economically vulnerable, any holiday period can bring isolation, financial pressures, accessibility challenges, as well as the threat of COVID. So what strategies are available to help when holidays are mentally hard? And how can the rest of us be great allies for those who need support?</p><p>Jo Stanley is joined by Harlin Gandhok, counsellor and multi-cultural MHFA ambassador, and Flic Manning, speaker, wellness expert, chronic illness advocate and also MHFA ambassador.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
