The women in sport rally cry needs to be sustained, not just raised every four years when our women outperform our men on the world stage.

And it needs action, not just time and a few supportive words.

I recently spoke to an Indigenous police officer, who was stoked with his new medal not because of what it meant for him, but for his family who still has never received medals for those before them for fought for our country.

It gave me welcomed pause, ahead of Anzac Day.

Emma Garlett nails pushing us to reflect.

"When I was a kid, I wasn’t taught about the Indigenous soldiers who fought for our country.

"I didn’t know how many Indigenous men chose to serve a country which didn’t serve them."

Each week for the past two and a half years in Kalgoorlie, I've thought "wow, I'll never write a lead as wild as this" and each week, the Goldfields outdoes itself #wildwest

A genuine pioneer for women in power, and one of the first women I aspired to be more like. Tough as nails and compassionate as ever, @MiaDaviesMLA is a leader for the history books.

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so passionate about what I do because then I could be rolling in it (it being red dirt and money)

[Tom Zaunmayr @Zaunny]

Was earning $45k while everyone else on our street was $100k plus in 2014. Great fun 😂

[AmberLilley @Amber__Lilley]

This event makes me cry every damn time. This year was no different as we remembered the father of six killed on an underground mine in the Goldfields less than eight weeks ago.
