Sheology

We’ve already covered sex, politics and religion, but there's another taboo topic we want to lift the lid off: money and class. Heather Chaffey knows something about it, having worked in social housing and the community sector more broadly in western Sydney for 20 years. She doesn't feel she's an expert but is nonetheless passionate about the issue of place-based disadvantage and the way it intersects with factors like gender, race and criminalisation. For us this results in a grim but ultimately galvanising discussion of poverty. We also review the underrated NBC comedy Good Girls and its tale of three women who resort to crime to make ends meet.
