“In sum, the truth is that we luxuriate in the comfortable assertion that women enjoy equality. We have salved our consciences by eliminating the more obvious discriminations like unequal rates of pay for work of equal value. But, in fact, we have not eliminated the inheritance of the millennia that women are lesser beings, an inheritance which still manifests itself in a whole range of prejudice and other forms of discrimination.”
-- Bob Hawke

#Leadership #Prejudice #Inheritance

-- Bob Hawke

#Leadership #Class #Income
“We will not allow to become a political issue in this country the question of Asianisation.”
