Angela Pippos is an award-winning journalist, presenter, documentary-maker, author and political adviser.
For three years, Angela was at the centre of Australian politics as Chief Adviser to Independent Federal Member for Goldstein, Zoe Daniel.
Angela convinced Zoe to run at the 2022 federal election and played a vital role in getting her elected. When Zoe created history by becoming the first woman to win the safe Liberal seat, she turned to Angela and said: “You got me into this, you’re coming with me!”
Angela’s move into federal politics builds on her extensive and ground-breaking work as a strong advocate for gender equality in sport and society.
Her most recent documentary, THE RECORD, follows Australia’s dramatic Women’s T20 World Cup campaign and the audacious bid to fill the MCG for the final on International Women’s Day 2020. The two-part series premiered globally on Amazon Prime in February 2021, and had a secondary release on ABC TV. Angela has also co-written and produced two television documentaries about the rise of women in Australian Rules football: LEAGUE OF HER OWN (Seven Network) and HEROES (ABC).
Now on its third reprint, Angela’s book, BREAKING THE MOULD – Taking a Hammer to Sexism in Sport (2017) provides a fascinating insight into the changing Australian sporting landscape, and challenges all of us to level the playing field. It was selected by the Grattan Institute for the ‘Prime Minister’s Summer Reading list’ and it made The Australia Institute’s ‘Essential Reading List’.
Angela anchored the sport segment on ABC TV News Victoria for a decade and was the first woman to co-host a breakfast sports radio program.
Angela has an Honours degree in Politics from the University of Adelaide and a Journalism degree from the University of South Australia.

“Angela was absolutely fantastic; I thought it was an exceptional event, really interesting to hear her perspective of the challenges of her male-dominated industry and how there were many parallels with some of the experiences that women at MMRA have had, even though on the surface, our industries are very different. The Q&A session at the end was a big highlight.”
