Jeanne McDonagh speaks to Tiernan Brady about upholding standards of diversity and inclusion in employment during the Covid-19 crisis.

When Laura King hired Tiernan Brady to champion diversity and inclusion at Clifford Chance, she hired a campaigning rockstar. With stadium-sized successes under his belt in the marriage equality referendums in Ireland and Australia, Tiernan came with an enviable reputation and a work ethic to match. And, as one of the first female partners at Clifford Chance, Laura has already lead the charge for change. Laura is now Global Head of People & Talent at Clifford Chance, while Tiernan is their first Global Head of Inclusion. And together this duo are making some big cultural waves. That's right – this interview is a 50/50 split. How's that for equality? Find out more at tr.com/TheHearing

This week Lane and Alice are bowled over by news from New Zealand: Jacinda Ardern of “Jacindamania” fame will be the next prime minister! Lane talks to “yes” campaign leader Tiernan Brady about what he thinks the REAL slippery slope is and double standards in the postal survey, Alice asks David Leyonhjelm what he reckons about the government’s welfare drug testing, and there are several jokes about people negging the NEG.

There are still a few weeks left to run in the same-sex marriage postal ballot campaign, and millions of votes are yet to be returned – or not returned. With 67.5% of ballots now in, Equality Campaign executive director Tiernan Brady says the high turnout shows the importance of a “yes” vote to people's lives and dignity. He says tyranny of distance in Australia has made campaigning difficult, compared to his experience during Ireland's marriage referendum. Despite criticism of what some saw as invasive tactics, Brady describes the efforts made by the “yes” campaign as largely positive and respectful. However, he admits there have been unfortunate incidents and “clowns” on both sides, but that they were largely “on the fringe”. On the “no” side, Australian Conservatives senator Cory Bernardi is unwilling to concede defeat. He praises the “grassroots movement” and “rockstar” mums and dads. On the Abbott factor, he says high-profile “no” voters have been “very effective”. If the “yes” vote wins, Bernardi foresees a few contentious debates over protections for religious freedoms and freedom of speech. “If the government is serious … they won't embrace the [Liberal senator Dean] Smith bill.” Bernardi's party has benefited somewhat from the same-sex marriage debate: he estimates his party now has the third-largest membership in Australia.

The issue of same-sex marriage is derailing the government's attempts to promote its agenda as tension mounts ahead of a special Liberal party meeting on Monday and parliament's resumption on Tuesday. The executive director of The Equality Campaign, Tiernan Brady, a leader of the successful ‘yes' referendum on same-sex marriage in Ireland, has been working with activists in Australia to get marriage equality over the line. He says the majority of MPs and the opposition just “want to find a solution” and that the five Liberal “rebels” trying to get an early parliamentary vote have been “really brave and shown real leadership.” Brady says the best outcome would be for the government to facilitate a free vote in parliament; a popular vote would be “politically unnecessary, legally unnecessary and legally unbinding”. “The day this happens nobody is going to be less married, and nobody is going to be more gay and the world rolls on, the sky doesn't fall in.”

Tiernan Brady from Australians for Equality joins Leigh and Graeme to discuss the campaign for marriage equality in Australia.

The Battle for the Sydney College of the Arts has all the elements common to the transformation of Australian Univeristies to the US corporate model. We talk to Thomas McLoughlin the solicitor for the Sydney University SRC about the fight. Tiernan Brady was the Political Director for the Irish campaign for marriage equality. He has some interesting things to say about how to win a potentially divisive social justice campaign. Kevin Healy goes through the week with a satirical brush. Dr Noah Bassil has a free ranging conversation that takes us to the Sudan, China and Australia as the neoliberal campaign tries to divert attention from the failure of its system to individuals like refugees for its troubles.

Tiernan Brady was the political director of the “yes” campaign during the Irish referendum on same-sex marriage. With the government pushing ahead with plans for a plebiscite on the issue, Brady is in Australia to help advise local marriage equality advocates. Brady tells Michelle Grattan one of the most important aspects of the Irish referendum was that they recognised that it should always be about “a real person”. “It shouldn't be a set of angry debates and loud interviews where people shout at each other…what it needed to be was friendly conversations, engaging; much more about having conversations at the dinner table, on the street and in the supermarket than in Parliament or on ABC or on the radio,” he says.
