Hello friends, happy Monday! For this episode of Question Time, we spoke with Dr Mehreen Faruqi, Australia's first female Muslim Senator. We asked her about the challenges of internal party politics in the Greens, the controversy around her becoming a Senator, and her experience of being a woman of colour in Parliament House.

This podcast is recorded on the land of the Boonwurrung People of the Eastern Kulin Nation and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. This land was stolen and never ceded.

We also acknowledge the Country that you are joining us from, and pay our respects to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander People who are listening today.

Theme music by the inimitable Alexis Weaver. Produced, mixed, and edited by Anthony Furci and Alex Tighe.

Hosted by Justine Landis-Hanley and Matilda Boseley.
