When she was at her lowest, before becoming the sort of person who has the ear and admiration of premiers and governors, Emma Lee worked at a petrol station. It was 2011. She was 38. Sheâd âcrashed and burnedâ, as she describes it, losing her first marriage, her money, her mojo. After a successful career as an archaeologist, and a manager at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, her whole world had shrunk to the grey concrete forecourt at Woolworths Caltex in her home town of Wynyard, on Tasmaniaâs north-west coast. For 18 months she healed, slowly rebuilding herself and, from behind the kiosk counter, finding the inspiration for a new approach to Aboriginal rights â a method that would, only four years later, start to bear fruit with then Tasmanian premier, Will Hodgman.
Brittany Higgins has hit out at the federal government amid claims it there is an unofficial government briefing against her. Ms Higgins, a former Liberal staffer who recently alleged she was raped at parliament house, spoke out after Network Ten political editor Peter van Onselen made the startling claim this morning. Mr van Onselen alleged that the prime minister s office was backgrounding journalists to smear her partner, a former public servant, saying he has a gripe against the government. Ms Higgins told Guardian Australia that going public with her story would have consequences. I knew personally that when I decided to put my name and face to this there would be repercussions for me, Ms Higgins told Guardian Australia. But I think it s unfair if they are starting to try and take this out on loved ones .
