GENDER EQUALITY
Commonsense fairness and humanity is needed
I’m a bloke and was on school-pickup duty yesterday – I wish I could have marched, such a great thing to see happening. My mum taught me and my brother as boys in the 1980s and ’90s to respect girls and women – especially her and our sister. So I am fortunate to have lived and breathed her feminism (which today just looks like commonsense fairness and humanity, funny that) and – unlike many men more powerful than me – to find today’s changes afoot plainly needed and no great challenge to my values or self-concept. Thanks mum.

AGED CARE
Lack of preparation blamed for virus deaths
The federal government failed to prepare the aged-care sector for the pandemic. In Victoria, 655 (82 per cent) of the 801 people who died during the second wave were residents in private aged care homes. The Prime Minister, Health Minister and the regulator need to explain to all of us exactly how this heart-breaking tragedy – which many of us predicted – occurred on their watch.
