Gender equality in the legal profession

Episode 4
Mitch & Nathan are joined by Libby Lyons, the Director of the Australian Government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency (its mission is to promote and improve gender equality in Australian workplaces). Did you know that the legal industry in Australia is female dominated? But, when it comes to the most senior positions, women are severely underrepresented. Libby talks specifically about the legal industry in relation to gender targets, getting 'gender on the tender', why we don't want to "snap back" after COVID-19, as well as the Agency's push for government funded early education in schools from the age of two as a mechanism to help working families.
