NOW Australia, Tracey Spicer’s answer to #MeToo, folds

NOW Australia, the organisation set up in 2018 in a bid to assist victims of workplace sexual harassment and indecent assault, is shutting down.

Veteran journalist Tracey Spicer – who worked on the investigations into Australian media personalities Don Burke and Craig McLachlan – spearheaded the initiative with the backing of stars of stage and screen.
