About this listen

Meet The Honourable Sarah Game MLC, a revolutionary figure who is challenging norms and reshaping the South Australian community through her dedicated service.

Sarah’s eclectic career path, from a veterinarian to a teacher for children with learning difficulties, fuels her passion for improving education standards and creating a safe and inclusive environment for students.

Her commitment to her values and her promise to work collaboratively is a testament to her dedication to the people she represents.

Our conversation with Sarah also delved into her advocacy for disadvantaged communities and mental health.

Sarah emphasizes the importance of empathy, judgement-free support, and prioritizing needs, underlining her belief in a community that supports all its members.

We also tap into her stance on contentious issues like the merger of the University of Adelaide and South Australia and regional healthcare, providing insights into the potential benefits and challenges these present.

Sarah's dedication extends to the well-being of men, highlighting a much-needed focus on this issue in our society.

We discuss her plans to establish an Office of Men, her initiatives for men's mental health, and her upcoming event focusing on men's health.

Sarah's unyielding advocacy, her emphasis on fathers' roles in their children's lives, and her perspective on parental alienation offer a fresh perspective on the societal and familial dynamics.
