Introducing: The Women in National Security series

Join hosts Gai Brodtmann and Meg Tapia in lively conversations with Australia’s female national security leaders and rising stars. Each month, Gai and Meg give listeners an exclusive peek behind the national security curtain, exploring the careers, perspectives and leadership lessons of the women playing vital roles tackling our biggest national security challenges. Showcasing the influential women forging the future of our intelligence, defence and national security sectors, WiNS gives you an insider’s view into Australia’s national security community.
