183: Bronnie Taylor's journey from rural nurse, to the most senior female in the NSW Government

About this episode

Bronnie Taylor has been in the public life 10 years, four as a cabinet minister, and two as the most senior female in the NSW Government. Until her party lost the election in March, she was the Minister for Women, the Minister for Regional Health and the Minister for Mental Health. She's now the Deputy Leader of The NSW Nationals and the shadow Minister for Regional Health. But that's just a taste of her political CV. What I had the privilege of discovering is the real Bronnie Taylor, the Bronnie who spent years as a nurse working in oncology and palliative care- fighting to bring services to her region in the Snowy Mountains. Bronnie fell in love with a country boy in year 12 who later became her husband. Together, her and Duncan have raised two girls on the farm, and it's been a wild ride. In our chat, Bronnie opens up about motherhood, farm life, her passion for rural health, and what it's like to be on the receiving end of political and personal attacks. This is her story.
