Small Tables Create Big Change!

WHIP stands for “Women Hustling in Politics” and so this isn’t your typical IWD event. Every woman attending our dinner will have the opportunity to deliver a powerful speech to the room.

Yes — you.

Why?

• Because political confidence is built through practice.
• Because voice is built by using it.
• Because leadership is not theoretical.

The Multicultural WHIP Dinner is a live rehearsal space for multicultural women stepping into influence.

Expect:
✔ A supportive, high-energy political room
✔ Short, powerful speeches from women in the room
✔ Real conversations about navigating politics
✔ Strategic networking with future candidates and operators
✔ An atmosphere that is ambitious — not performative

Your speech could be about:

• Why you care about politics
• An issue you want to change
• A lived experience that shaped you
• A bold idea for Australia

Why pay to attend events to merely hear others speak when you can make your voice heard at the dinner?

Seats are limited to keep the room intentional and brave.

Come ready to speak.

Your Powerful Speech – Simple Guide

On the night, you’ll have the opportunity to deliver a short (under 2-minute) speech.

Here’s a simple structure to make it easy:

Option A: The Why Structure

• Who you are
• Why politics matters to you
• One issue you care about

Option B: The Change Structure

• One problem you see
• Why it matters
• One change you’d like to see

Option C: The Personal Power Structure

• A moment that shaped your political awareness
• What it taught you
• What you want to do next

Keep it simple.
No notes required (but you can bring them).
Under 2 minutes.
No pressure.

This is practice — not performance.

Looking forward to hearing your voice!
