Discover the groundbreaking journey behind Australia's Right to Repair legislation as we sit down with host, Stacey Miller, and her guests, Stuart Charity, CEO of the Australian Aftermarket Automotive Association (AAAA), and Lesley Yates, AAAA's Director of Government Relations. These trailblazers unravel the decade-long advocacy effort that culminated in a historic legislative victory in June 2021. By tactfully addressing automakers' concerns over intellectual property and safety, and drawing on international alliances with groups like the Auto Care Association, Stuart and Leslie showcase how strategic cooperation and relentless dedication can overcome formidable opposition.
Hear how a grassroots campaign brought Australian politicians face-to-face with independent repairers, catalyzing unprecedented bipartisan support. Through hands-on workshops and education, this initiative illuminated the pressing challenges faced by repair shops, hastening the bill's progress through Parliament. This inspiring story not only underscores the shared global momentum of the Right to Repair movement but also offers invaluable insights for advocates in the United States and beyond. Join us for an essential conversation on sustained advocacy's power to drive meaningful change.
