It may have taken until 2023, but this year women outnumber men among the Order of Australia recipients. By promoting equality, we can create a healthier, more equitable and safer country. @JacquelineMaley has a great article on the gender parity aspect https://t.co/NBulLPqpu5

Thank you @WHVictoria and @CroakeyNews "One rural teen was told, “You’re old enough to have sex so you’re old enough to have a baby,” then shown the clinic door without antenatal or abortion referrals." https://t.co/ZKed9xouco
