Fatima Payman: The Principle and Practice of Service

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationGeneral Article

Abstract

Focussing on age, looks and emotions is not unusual in media coverage of women’s contributions to political life. But for those interested in assessing political substance rather than commenting on matters of appearance, what stands out when watching Senator Payman’s speech again a year and a bit later are not her youth, her hijab, or her momentary choking back of tears, but rather the things she said about the Australian Labor Party’s achievements in the past, and its current objectives, and the way she anchored her own political vocation to the principle and practice of serving the public good.
