I’m curious – the Labor Party is always on about equal opportunity and representation, and yet they’ve given out these awards exclusively to one sex and not the other.

Perhaps they gave them out on merit? No, no that would be too obvious. It must be a conspiracy by the femocracy…

Now run along to your mens group meeting and beat some drums in the forest while you complain about how tough it is to be a man in 21st Australia and how your mummy didn’t love you enough, or, that she loved you too much.

I’m curious – the Labor Party is always on about equal opportunity and representation, and yet they’ve given out these awards exclusively to one sex and not the other.

So, a question from the whole afternoon that is still in my mind: Does the media and do politicians still simply refer to “doctors and nurses”? rather than “doctors, nurses and allied health”? Because one speaker was certain it was the second and I am no so sure.
