#winningwednesday: Last week, Belinda Sharpe stepped into history as the first female #NRL referee, a breakthrough for the NRL, which has not seen a woman in control of a game in its 111-year history 🙌 ow.ly/wiKW50v6Vt5 #agec #genderequality #genderpaygap #itstime

Of the 32 million page views/day that English Wikipedia gets ~90% are created by white men in Nth America. A gender gap-bridging project has added 670 profiles since 2017 about women and other minorities in science and engineering 🙌 ow.ly/HGcG50v6UHK #agec #genderequality

Girls are paid 27% less pocket money than boys @TerryFitz1815 explains - shouldn’t shock us because it’s similar in the workplace #WlaSymp

@ausgenderequal Free universal childcare, after school and vacation care during hours that reflect contemporary working life.

Today's the day when 2 women's groups find themselves in the Budget lockup. Which economic issue do you want to see them prioritise? womensagenda.com.au/latest/update-… #genderequality #federalbudget2019 #addwomen

This is appalling. Within the health care industry, despite representing 79 per cent of the health workforce, women are paid 25 per cent less per hour than men. #payequality #paygap ow.ly/X92D50kjKnV

And there is more to come from this study...

It is about time we seriously considered quotas in Parliament at both State and Federal level.

This has been a hot topic here of late: Emotional labour - another load women carry #morework #women #genderequality #agec #ItsTime ow.ly/SU4550jEc68

Check this out and get a #snapshot of our new #GenderEquality data. We are looking better each year. Well done #Australian employers 👏🏼👏🏼

@ausgenderequal @Kate_McCallum @FrBower @bairdjulia @annabelcrabb @DavidLeyonhjelm @SkyNewsAust @sarahinthesen8 Absolutely appalling. Parliament should be the showcase of our anti-discrimination laws not the place where they are flouted and then condoned by a supposed high caliber news channel.

@Kate_McCallum @FrBower @bairdjulia @annabelcrabb Similar to when @DavidLeyonhjelm made false accusations comments on @SkyNewsAust against @sarahinthesen8 and then the female producer was suspended for writing his captions ie, doing her job #auspol womensagenda.com.au/latest/sky-new…

Thank you @FrBower. I'm gobsmacked by this issue and the lack of consequences for the politicians involved @bairdjulia @annabelcrabb @ausgenderequal

@WGEADirector @WGEAgency Thankyou WGEA!!!!!

🚨 Hot of the press! Join the action next week as we travel the country & get your hands on an exclusive copy of @WGEAgency’s 2017/18 #genderequality scorecard. Digital copies available on our website 13 November. wgea.gov.au/events-and-wor…

@Kate_McCallum Yes. Fact after fact is put forward about the reality of gender bias, gender pay gap etc...and then - because we have to keep repeating the message ad infinitum because it's not getting through (QED) - are accused of having some sort of femininist-only dialogue! #working4balance

@ausgenderequal @FionaPearman @VictoriaWeekes1 How can we afford not to?

@FionaPearman It's so important to look further than our own shores for ideas. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, having slid 35 places in gender equality over the last 12 years, Australia could recover to become 'best in class' with #genderequality ? #agec #ItsTime @TerryFitz1815 @VictoriaWeekes1

Great strides being made to create #genderequality in California #equalityatworkandhome

And continuing in the #Hollywood vein, Keira Knightley started asking her costars what they earned. Here's why ow.ly/51sM50ji7Zh #keiraknightley #equalpay #agec #ItsTime

@ausgenderequal There is no equity in that at all.

Freaky Fact Friday is here! 60%. That's what the female host of QI is paid, compared to her male predecessor. Where's the IQ in that? ow.ly/JAg750j86lt #equalpay #uk #iq #agec #ItsTime #fffriday

Now THAT is strength in numbers - 20,000 people marched in Bern, Switzerland to protest against unequal pay ow.ly/2zNN50jcpyQ #switzerland #agec #ItsTime #equalpay

@uqbs researcher @TerryFitz1815 has teamed up with @ausgenderequal to examine the causes of gender inequality in Australia. bit.ly/2PIG6I1 #ItsTime #genderequality #createchange

ICYMI - Australia is 50th in the world when it comes to gender equality in Parliament. We must do better ow.ly/vaXt50j85M4 #women #auspol #genderequality #agec #ItsTime
