The "hotties" list "proves there is still much work to be done in all areas of society."
I argue that "this list also highlights a deeper issue: Australia in general remains a sexist country", with "research by the @GIWLkings and IPSOS [finding] that Australian men have some of the most sexist views in the Western world."
I write that, "as a university lecturer, I believe we have a duty to our students as well as society to provide better education on consent, sex, and sexuality, but also on gender equality - to undo the normalisation of sexism and sexual harassment."
"Universities have been widely criticised by student bodies, safety advocates, the media, and politicians, not only for failing to protect students but for the onerous complaint mechanisms that re-traumatise survivors [and] our campuses have long struggled with misogyny."
My latest op-ed (after a tad hiatus) in The Canberra Times is out today! Commenting on the "hotties list", I argue that, rather than blaming the culture of solely the APS, we "we might instead turn our attention to universities." www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8403690/

Working in the academy reminds Duncan Money of his brief time on a market stall. Time to swap it for a stable job that pays the bills
I am not thinking about the Roman Empire that often, but I am constantly thinking about the 1970s and the bizarre stuff that went down in that decade.
Imagine if Whitlam had made Bill Hayden treasurer from the get go… theconversation.com/as-treasurer...
Hayden investigated floating the dollar a decade before Labor did it, and he cut taxes and slashed spending growth, putting Labor on a new course.
