Ep 5: How Far We've Come... Susan Ryan and The Sex Discrimination Act

The Squiz team is on a long weekend so we thought we’d pop ‘How Far We’ve Come’ into the Shortcuts feed for any long road trips or lazy mornings you may have planned. It's a 6-part series that looks at some key moments for women on the path to financial equality and aims to give women the tools to lock down their financial freedom.

In episode 5, we’re talking about the 1984 Sex Discrimination Act - a landmark moment for Australian women. We’ll introduce Susan Ryan and talk about the bill she drafted prohibiting discrimination based on gender when it came to hiring, firing, pay, and promotion.
