“An equitable world will not just be better for women, though it most certainly will be. And it’s not just the right thing to do, though it most certainly is. An equitable world is better for all,” CEW President Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz. #CEWAnnualDinner

As I wrote in a piece for @TheMandarinAU, the HAFF has the potential to be a significant cornerstone of structural reform in our housing system. I look forward to the Senate engaging constructively with Minister @JulieCollinsMP to unlock the door. https://t.co/VM1I1KE7jc

Whatever the drivers of Australia's housing crisis, it is clear we are not producing enough housing that people can afford.
When we were elected, we inherited a housing system in disarray. But as I write in today’s @dailytelegraph, Australia now has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to turn that around. We can’t afford to waste it.

Great conversation. Just heard a new term “black cladding” which is the equivalent of greenwashing on matters of indigenous reconciliation.

Thanks to Amanda for sharing her story and reminding us that housing insecurity can happen to anyone. This is why we need our NSW political reps to confront the NSW housing crisis.

Homelessness was never on the cards for Amanda Bilson and her beloved husband, the Sydney chef and restaurateur Tony Bilson.

Today is a significant day for those who have experienced sexual harassment- acknowledging your harm by reforming our laws to improve prevention in our workplaces. Thank you to @MarkDreyfusKCMP @SenKatyG & @Tony_Burke for supporting #RespectatWork for all.

The bill, to be introduced into parliament on Tuesday, would empower Australia’s human rights watchdog to enforce a positive duty on businesses to protect their workers from experiencing harassment.

Cities thrive when there’s a diversity of people. Sydney is at an inflection point where (a lack of) affordable housing is the key. Policy is important, action is urgent. Let’s get keys in doors. @SGCH_Ltd @CHIA_NSW #affordablehousing

The man charged with guiding the region’s future said the government needed to step in and introduce more affordable housing for key workers.

Toilet time! 🚽 👉🏼60% of respondents say there should be more toilets for women than for men. 👉🏼Just over half that number (35%) say there should be equal numbers for men & women. Can you tell us what you’ve built, @AllianzStadium? #dunnycount
So, we’ve got a new football stadium in Sydney. Curious: what ratio of toilets (female:male, in addition to non-gendered loos) should there be in a brand spanking new stadium that will host the @FIFAWWC, concerts, etc? @AllianzStadium

Now is the time to invest in critical care infrastructure for a prosperous future. The cost will be high, but the cost of not acting, monumentally higher! @KZiwica @Raecooper1 @sammostyn @SenKatyG @EconomistAnge

The post-pandemic lessons of care feminism seem to have sunk in, but if we do not seize the moment now, we may waste a historic opportunity

Bringing forward changes to childcare subsidies would encourage more women back into the workforce, helping address the nation's skills shortage. 🎧 Listen to this great piece from @abcnews AM and @StephieBorys:

There is growing pressure on the federal government to bring forward changes to childcare support to better support families and get more women back to work.

Women with young children could address the skills shortage, but expensive childcare means returning to work isn't viable. Let's bring forward the increase to childcare subsidies so women who want to, can return to work. #auspol @StephieBorys @abcnews

Mothers could help fill workforce shortages, but the cost of child care means there is no financial benefit for many of them to return to work.

Sophie agree the AGEC Annual Forums are great to remind us of the FACTS. It’s amazing how many people don’t actually know the facts of gender inequality & how slow they are to change. It’s essential we get the message out there & advocate for action to really shift the dial.
First day of @ausgenderequal annual summit presents more sobering statistics. Women only occupy 14% of Exec line roles in the ASX 300; and the average weekly full line remuneration pay gap in Aust is 22.8% #AGEC2022 #GenderEquality #ItsTime #Leadership #Raiseourcollectivevoice
