We are beyond excited that our former colleague Georgie Dent is speaking at the National Press Club just as we’re publishing today.
Now CEO of The Parenthood, Georgie will outline what we know about the strain and tension facing working parents, and the costs that are typically carried by women (including that 55% drop in average earnings a mum experiences in the first 5 years!).
And she’ll share three clear and available policy options that can significantly transform things for families, based on evidence.
Also today: Clavicular has been charged with rape. If you don’t know who Calvicular is and how looksmaxxing is influencing young men all over the planet, Madeline Hislop shares this piece.
And why do state and federal governments respond to men’s violence after the fact? Vincent Hurley presents the case for more prevention funding.
Thinking of being a solo mum? We speak with Michelle Galea, who was named the inaugural YMCA Victorian Mother of Year in 2024, to learn about her experiences going through IVF as a solo woman, thanks to our partnership with Genea.
