It comes after months of uncertainty and efforts by the Albanese Government to negotiate an exemption for Australian steel and aluminium.

  • Every year since 2001, a study has looked at how Australian households are changing. It's called the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia, or HILDA, survey, and it captures trends across a broad cross-section of Australians’ finances, social life, mental health, household activities and family life. Among its most recent findings is that men are doing the same amount of housework on average as they were 20 years ago. On today’s podcast, we dissect its findings, and discuss what has and hasn’t changed about Australia since the turn of the century.

  • The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) released its annual pay gap report this week, which found that - on average - men still earn more than women across all industries. The agency’s gender pay gap target range for all employers is plus/minus 5%. However, its latest findings show just one in five Australian employers is meeting this target. But, it’s not all bad news, with 56% of employers improving their gender pay gap in the 2023-24 financial year, compared to the previous year. In today’s deep dive, we’ll take a closer look at these findings to check in with where Australia is at when it comes to the gender pay gap.
