#tillitsdone: the triumph of generations of sports feminism

Record breaking crowds, smashed TV viewing results, sold out merchandise stocks, the Matilda’s have settled once and for all that there is passion and a market for women’s sport. Just as the Barbie movie is shaking up cinema, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, is challenging tired notions about the marketability and box-office potential of entertainment told with a gendered lens.

None of this has happened overnight. The long road to gender equity in Football has relied on generations of women defying stereotypes, gendered norms and the criticism of men.

Women like Teresa Vugrenic, my grandmother.

Women unite in anger to march on Parliament and across the nation

Every year, International Women’s Day generates a flurry of activity about gender equality. Obligatory breakfasts, all-women panels and a five-second grab of an IWD march on the nightly news, bring women front and centre in our nation’s imagination.

This is not the time for polite tinkering.

The Federal Government’s Jobs and

Skills summit is an important opportunity to build back better after the pandemic. But in any reimagining of Australia’s economic future, women and gender equity must be centre stage.

Schitt’s Creek defies the patriarchy. Its Emmys’ haul is testament to a new (and much-desired) brand

A pandemic, an Omicron summer without RATs and N95’s, floods and now the threat of nuclear war? How much more of this dystopian nightmare can women take?

Not much, it seems.

Pop culture – a song lyric, a film or a storybook hero – always comes to help me through the hardest of times.

David Rose, from Netflix sitcom Schitt’s Creek, with his radical feminist jumpers, stroppy, sarcastic vulnerability, boho industrial chic (I would soooo shop in Rose Apothecary) and pansexual romance is the best friend I never knew I needed in isolation.

How the Australian budget process is failing women

It’s disappointing to see women emerging as Labor’s first casualties in defeat. We all know the Coalition has a woman problem – a woeful representation of just 24 per cent women MPs. Its leadership team – PM, Deputy and Treasurer – are all blokes.

Now the parliamentary Labor caucus is expected to do no better than the Morrison boys' club by producing an all-male leadership team of its own, with reports that its leader, deputy and shadow treasurer positions will all go to men.

How the Australian budget process is failing women

Ching! Ching! Can you hear it? The promise of cash flowing to women?

It’s budget day in an election year and you can bet that women across Australia are about to be offered money. Some hastily cobbled together financial incentive to sway the women’s vote.
