A week in the life of Pauline Hanson… what a ride.

A luxurious trip with best pal/One Nation overlord, Gina Rinehart, a failed meeting with Nigel Farage as he takes on Count Binface, a sprinkling of nepotism, and a blatantly racist podcast interview with Tommy Robinson, in which she got nostalgic about the White Australia Policy.

Who’s telling me this woman represents Australia’s best interests? Genuinely?

In health, and as menopause becomes more visible, it's also becoming big business. Rita Nasr explores the booming industry built around women's midlife health and asks where the line lies between much-needed awareness, genuine innovation and the commercial exploitation of women seeking answers.

Meanwhile, we’re told by experts that perimenopause can be a 10-year experience, but it’s also shaped by the habits, health and hormone literacy we develop even earlier. Robyn Llewellyn explores why experts say the biggest mistake we make about perimenopause starts in our twenties, and what women can do now to support their long-term health.

And in business, Julie Kim and Sophie Seymaux had reached the top of the corporate ladder at Cartier before deciding to take the biggest risk of their careers. In this interview, the SKALE co-founders share what they've learned about backing themselves, building a venture together and redefining ambition. 

Have a great weekend!

The Key Quote

   
If you can't find someone who's inspired enough to back you, then you're probably not very inspiring.
   
Barnaby Joyce told the ABC today it wouldn’t surprise him if his One Nation colleague Pauline Hanson's trip to Italy was paid for by billionaire Gina Rinehart.
