So, while we have policies and procedures in place, there remains a rump of cultural resistance to the idea of 'working mothers'.

Together with Melinda Schneider, Spicer launched NOW Australia on 25 March 2018. NOW Australia is "a service to help those who’ve been sexually harassed, assaulted or intimidated at work". A month long crowd funding campaign was launched on the same day.
