Episode Synopsis

We were privileged to get to speak with Dame Jenny Shipley, New Zealand's first female Prime Minister. She talked openly with us about the challenges faced with being a woman in politics in the 90s. What was also of particular interest was her ability to make decisions. When asked about her decision to cut benefits in 1991 as Minister of Social Development, she unequivocally said that she got that decision right.
