She is a reporter for 60 Minutes and co-host of The Weekend Today Show, having spent the past 17 years working as a journalist for the Nine Network. Langdon started on Nine’s flagship current affairs program 60 Minutes in 2011, and has covered many major international stories. She interviewed Al-Shabaab terrorists just days before their execution in Somalia. In 2014 she travelled deep into the Amazon after the Brazilian Government approved the world’s third largest hydro dam that would have flooded the homes of thousands of Kayapo Indians. Langdon’s report formed the basis of a court case which saw the dam decision overturned. She was also the only Australian journalist who made it into Cameroon to cover the plane crash that killed six Australian mining executives. She wrote the book The Child Who Never Was –The Tegan Lane Story (released in 2007) after covering the inquest into the disappearance of the baby born to former water polo champion, Keli Lane. In December 2010, Lane was convicted of the baby’s murder. She’s married with a young son. Ta n ya D av i e s Tanya Davies is the Member for Mulgoa and the NSW Minister for Women, Mental Health and Ageing in the Berejiklian government. In her role as Minister for Women, Tanya represents around 3.8 million women across NSW. She is committed to hearing first-hand about the issues that affect them every day and is passionate about building an equitable, inclusive and safe society where all women are valued and respected. An area of particular interest for Tanya is helping women to support each other, especially in professional settings. She believes women can be immensely valuable to each other by standing together to develop strong support networks where women can fulfil their potential. As a mother herself, Tanya is passionate about ensuring all children across this State grow up in strong, safe and caring communities where their individual potential flourishes. Dr Vijay Roach Chairman, Gidget Foundation Australia Welcome to the 2018 Gidget Foundation Glitter and Sparkle Ladies’ Lunch. When you thought it wasn’t possible, the Gidget Foundation’s indefatigable committee has broken new ground! Today’s success is testimony to your wonderful support and the importance of raising awareness of mental health in pregnancy and for new parents. As we talk and laugh and talk some more, pause and reflect on the value of kindness and generosity of spirit. The Gidget Foundation can raise awareness and provide pathways to care but the power for change lies with you. Ask a friend how she feels. Offer her a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a comforting embrace. Make the world a better place through compassion, warmth and love. At the Ladies’ Lunch we honour mothers and fathers and the importance of parents. We remember those who are not here, our loved ones who live in our hearts. We reach out to those for whom anxiety and depression is a burden and a barrier to happiness. We will make magic today at the Ladies’ Lunch. Let’s share that spirit with those we love and, in some small way, make the journey a little better for those in need. Arabella Gibson CEO, Gidget Foundation Australia It is a privilege and great honour to lead Gidget Foundation Australia as we build on recent growth, while ensuring that we maintain Gidget’s kind soul and loving essence in all we do. As a for purpose organisation, we are committed to providing sustainable prevention and treatment programs. While we have made an incredible impact in the perinatal mental health space to date, and already support a number of families, there are still many more across Australia that need our help. And it is with your help that we can achieve our mission to not only drive awareness about perinatal depression and anxiety, but also to develop, build and drive these programs for both early intervention and treatment to ensure that vulnerable parents go on to live happy and fulfilling lives. As a mother myself, I am passionate about shining a bright (and sparkly!) light on our cause and creating real change within the community. Let’s make a commitment to look after our collective wellbeing, aim for less pressure, manageable expectations and more happy moments with those that we love. We must end the silence and stigma. So, let’s do it for our children and let’s do it for their children. Because family is everything.
