Georgie Dent reflects upon a staggering 7 months since the last Federal Budget and the launch of “credible women” fury.

The roadmap to gender equity isn’t final and the joint policy statement isn’t definitive, but we cannot deny solutions exist.

‘Realising that every word of my 2015 Leadership Awards speech could have been delivered today felt like a sucker punch,’ Georgie Dent.

“I know what “desperately trying” to ensure women are respected looks like & it does not resemble Scott Morrison,” Georgie Dent writes.

‘It’s not about a political party, a single accused or single survivor. It’s about accepting the treatment of women here is unacceptable.’

Prime Minister Morrison’s failure to adequately respond to sexual violence allegations has unleashed volcanic rage among women who say enough.

A new research report from The Parenthood places spotlight on policies that are failing parents, children and families in Australia.

Alan Tudge says child care costs less than $5 an hour for 70% of families. That’s still $13,000 a year out of pocket.

Across Australia, out of pocket child care costs are now 2.4% higher than they were this time last year according to new CPI figures.

Any delay in seeking appropriate medical attention even in the midst of a pandemic like Covid19 is troubling. Book your health appointment.

“I’ve wondered whether the enduring lesson from 2020 is that we’re not in control. Not the way we thought,” Georgie Dent writes.

That child care reform will benefit high-earning women is a two-bit sideshow compared to the economic and social benefits it will deliver.
