Rhys Carroll:
"[On Toby] He's liberated. He's out of his box and doing what he wants to do and it's nice to see.
The other guys who are stuck in the hole and stuck in their box and they'll never get to feel that. And before you know it THEY think they're stuck."

Gavin Webber:
"You need to have a sensitivity with your words, to not shut someone down because they might not knowhat a word means, but also you need to have an understanding of the meaning of words."

Andrew Taukolo: "When I first started the program I thought we had to redefine masculinity. But we don't have to redefine it, we need to reclaim it.
We can be strong, have courage, be masculine, and still be outside the box."

Michael Jeh: "Sometimes I get men saying [with the work you do] well you must be a man hater, and they are always surprised when I say I love men.
I believe in men. I'm doing this work because I believe in the power of change."

WOW Australia invites men to the stage, to discuss gender equality, getting out of the box, reclaiming masculinity. 'The Making of Men'.

Jackie Huggins, asked what a true sisterhood looks like, quotes Lilla Watson: “If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

Dr Mary Graham: "Settler societies are very young and are still learning how to love country. #FirstNations have always been owners & runners of country. This stewardship could be put into place, it is a key knowledge we already have."

"Almost two in five women and just over one in four men have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace in the past five years. Contrary to what some commentators have said, we have more than just anger, we have solutions."
