Zali Steggall - Olympian, Barrister, Community Independent

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 5 juin 2025 • Durée 34:37

Zali Steggall burst onto Australia’s political stage in 2019, unseating a 25-year incumbent to become an outspoken community independent. A world-champion slalom skier turned high-stakes advocate, Zali seamlessly transitioned from life at the Olympic starting gate to the House of Representatives.

In her maiden speech, she warned that big money and “spin” were eroding trust in Parliament—an issue she’s since taken head-on, campaigning to outlaw misleading political advertising and push Australia toward net-zero emissions.

As a former barrister who helped write key climate legislation and fought to cancel offshore gas leases off Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Zali is as comfortable debating amendment clauses in committee rooms as she once was racing down a World Cup course.

On today’s podcast, she’ll share:

How the “fight-or-flight” pressure of Olympic slalom prepared her for the national parliament
What it takes to pass truth-in-political-advertising laws (and why the major parties still resist)
Why she sees a minority government as a chance for genuine cross-bench consensus
The unfinished business—from closing campaign-finance loopholes to toughening the National Anti-Corruption Commission

Join us to hear how a former world champion skier uses that same razor-sharp focus to tackle Australia’s biggest policy challenges and restore integrity to our democratic process

Following a lengthy period on the bench, Margaret then went on to run Royal Commissions investigating the racing industry and child protection in the Northern Territory. She reflects on their effect and how they emphasised her belief in the importance of robust regulation and accountability.

Currently, she advocates for anti-corruption and democratic integrity as a director for the Center for Public Integrity, motivated by the belief that democracy requires constant vigilance and active participation to thrive.
