07:19 Claudia talks to RMIT employment law lecturer Dr Elizabeth Shi about the culture of silence surrounding sexual harassment in the workplace, shortcomings of the Sex Discrimination Act (Cth) 1984, and a structured legal alternative involving systemic organisational responsibility rather than an individualised approach. She also discusses the importance of leadership in bringing about change and the recent Four Corners episode which investigated the alleged misconduct of two federal ministers and suggested a misogynistic culture exists in the workplace of the so-called "Canberra bubble".
