Of the 580 public statues in Melbourne, only nine depict real women. Yesterday A Monument of One’s Own and our parter @VicUnions received funding from the Vic Govt Women’s Public Art Program to honour Zelda D’Aprano, the legendary equal pay campaigner.

@Emsyanna Omg Gold!! Did she return it??? Definitely faulty!

Here she is in all her glory with the sales assistant trying to undo it. She peeled the top half down so flew home with the jumpsuit hanging down around her middle and her own tshirt.😆👌🏻

My mate once had to buy a jumpsuit cos she tried it on at a shop at the airport and the zipper got stuck. Even the assistant couldn’t unzip it. She panicked cos they were calling her flight so she just paid for it and wore it home.

Let women be. Let women lead. Let women decide. Let women speak up. Let women represent. Let women live peacefully. Let women express themselves. Let women control their bodies. Let women live.

@Raecooper1 @georgiedent Congratulations Georgie. So well deserved.

The brilliant @georgiedent awarded an #edna tonight for her leadership trying to make work better for women. Such a well-deserved award 🥇 👑🙌🏼😎💃🏽

@wtuohy School back, hair cut, bbq & bubbles with friends - none of whom could come to mums funeral.

How are you feeling about Melbourne’s lockdown end (me, happy and grateful for the state’s careful approach) & what are you looking forward to? Please share I’d love to know.

@Raecooper1 💯 Want to win the #warfortalent and mitigate #TheGreatResignation ? Then focus on workplace gender equality and make sure your leaders are equipped to manage gender balanced teams!

Yes, immigration will be critical to recovery but an urgent moment to keep our very highly educated prime-age female labour force engaged in the labour force. Crafting mutually beneficial, sustainable work post pandemic is will be critical for growth afr.com/politics/austr…

@georgiedent @BabyMacBeth Should come with a trigger warning ⚠️

Am I alone in really not feeling this? On a number of levels. 😑 (No homeschool for the boys!) smh.com.au/national/nsw/f… via @BabyMacBeth

It’s #carersweek We’ve been paying tribute to the millions of carers taking care of loved ones. If you’re looking for caregiving support I’ll be online I’ll be online this week answering all your questions. #AskMeAnything #MillionsOfReasonsToCare #Carers2021 #GraceCares

Young people are incredible! It's been around 3 weeks since 12-15s have become eligible. As of yesterday, a massive 46.1% of them have already had 1 dose. Champs — the lot of them, and their parents. #covid19vic

For someone who hasn’t felt they’ve had much agency for the past few years, to be recognised by the Australian @FinancialReview power list feels completely surreal. (1/3)

Cannot stress enough. 98% of people admitted to Victorian ICUs with COVID-19 since mid-July were unvaccinated. Vaccination near-ELIMINATES the risk of severe disease and death from coronavirus. PLEASE book and get vaccinated as soon as you can. #covid19vic #GetVaccinated

Horrifying. And on every measure, from women in leadership to pay equity, progress is glacial. Time for seismic shifts in accountability for equality by boards and government.

@outersanctum01 @TonyFrencham Imagine the impact of a female coach!!!

Research shows that AFL teams with a woman President are 100% more likely to win the gf.

#SolidarityPancakes is now TRENDING NATIONALLY! If we needed any other proof of the unity, appreciation and generosity of Victorians and Aussies. THERE IT IS. This one’s for all our frontline champs. We see you ALL!

Devastated to see the gender pay gap has INCREASED by 0.8% to 14.2% in favour of men over the last 6 months. Needs intentional action by employers- @WGEAgency provides resources to help. @WGEADirector #genderequality #GenderPayGap @AusHumanRights

@henriettacook I feel your pain. We get 10 people for my dear Mum’s funeral.

I’m fuming. Because of that illegal engagement party our family will have to spend 14 days in quarantine in an apartment. My husband visited a supermarket that is a tier 1 site. We can’t send our toddler to childcare so will have to take time off work. What selfish individuals.

Bec Goddard. I could not be more proud of you. Firstly you are a brilliant AFL coach and a great person I wish you very success. A great win for women in sport. Go girl!!
