We extensively discuss the newly announced changes to pay equity legislation and processes. Who is being affected? What does it mean for society, the Government, political parties and factions?

1/200 S2E133 - US Primacy, Arms Sales and Human Rights w/ Dr Annelle Sheline
1 /200 doesn't usually get former US State Department officers as guests, but Dr. Annelle Sheline is no ordinary former State Department officer.
