By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Meet the public servant who is passionate about getting more women into politics. By Natalie Cornish Previous article The Internet Has Broken Our Attention Spans, Or Has It Next article Leaning Your Life Into A Little Wabi-Sabi Deborah Wu was born in Sydney to migrant parents from Hong Kong. The family later moved to Melbourne, where she now calls the inner north-west home. Having worked in politics in some form since 2013, Deborah cut her teeth as a “jill-of-all-trades” for two members of parliament before leaving party politics to join the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) as Women’s Engagement and Project Officer. Now, she supports women from all political stripes who want to take the leap into local government. Here, Deborah talks getting more women into politics, her passion for diversity, her love for true crime podcasts, and the feminist manifesto she can’t put down.I joined Future Women because I love hearing women’s voices – and there are so many unique perspectives. The sense of community has been terrific. membersontheirway Best Of Future Women Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Sarah Fritz By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Jodie Dean By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Zufi Emerson By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Melinda Fletcher By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Jo Wright By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Fiona Glaskin By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Cathy Ngo By Natalie Cornish Members On Their Way Members On Their Way: Natasha Akib By Natalie Cornish Your inbox just got smarter If you’re not a member, sign up to our newsletter to get the best of Future Women in your inbox.
