I am absolutely disgusted with Dutton, Ley & co as they continue to insult First Nations people with demeaning questions on possible next steps in reconciliation in #QT Continuing to use our most disadvantaged to look for political points is just morally bankrupt. #auspol

@DanTehanWannon sounds like he genuinely doesn’t understand the Voice and how it functions (constitution v legislation big difference) …. That or he is purposefully misrepresenting it’s structure and function - either is shameful - be better #QandA

[Bridget Barker @BridgetMBarker]

Second time I’ve heard @DavidZita1 revert back to the panel as “gents” when there’s a woman on the panel … wondering if he forgets she’s there or genuinely thinks she has nothing to offer because she’s a woman? Not a great look @FOXFOOTY

[The National Gathering @yes23au]

An overwhelming majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people say they want constitutional recognition through a Voice To Parliament.

[Bridget Barker @BridgetMBarker]

Very clear and concise contribution from @Malarndirri19 on #QandA really enjoying that she’s addressing questions not twisting questions to suit an ideological narrative like some

This one feels like a win for the OG champions of women’s footy, grassroots, pushing 💩 up hill when few cared about W. Congratulations Falcons, first year membership buyers, pioneers, anyone who has been there from the start… you did it ☺️ #AFLWLionsDees #AFLWGrandFinal

@kaseysymons Glad (and unsurprised) the article resonated Kasey ☺️

[Bridget Barker @BridgetMBarker]

Still ever grateful to @MakingCall @ChangeOurGame the reason I am able to write and publish articles about things I care about / have opinions on ☺️ #womeninsport #sportsleadership

"...when women are leading, I am instinctively and unconsciously imagining myself in the thick of it."

Great piece by @BridgetMBarker 🎓❤️

Also worth mentioning other aspects of improving AFL leadership I couldn’t fit in the word count
- diversity beyond gender
- structural barriers
- how policy can address structural barriers
- e.g’s of where some of above have / are working
could write about this all day

[Bridget Barker @BridgetMBarker]

Penned some thoughts that have been bubbling for a while, @Sonja_Hood’s leadership recently (and happily) made them boil over

You can’t be what you can’t see – and that includes women in AFL leadership roles https://t.co/PRU5030Gru

“David King is never going to forgive me for not coming in and announcing the news (of Clarkson's signing) on SEN. If his co-host (Kane Cornes) hadn't been so keen on describing me as uninspiring, I might have popped by.”

Some of my fave pictures in there! Such a great comp that was, spearheaded by @chyloe14 well before widespread and accessible girls footy existed
Proud ex-coach moment 🖤💙 @MUWFC

[Chyloe Kurdas @chyloe14]

Eliza Vale started her #AFLW journey w/ @MUWFC at a girls' u12 'come & try' 6-a-side(!!) @WesternRegionFL comp as 9 year old...now she's an @aflwomens player w/ @SydneySwansAFLW
