In Australia, we’re pretty easy-going.
We don’t like to get caught up in things.
If something goes wrong, we just say,
“She’ll be right.”
You lose a ball over the back fence?
“She’ll be right.”
The car’s carked it in the middle of the bush?
“She’ll be right.”
She’s still being paid 87 cents to the dollar.
“She’ll be right.”
She can’t walk home alone at night for fear of being raped.
“She’ll be right.”
For a country ranked 44th on the global gender gap index, she’s just not that big of a priority.
I mean, she’s only the boss 18% of the time.
“She’ll be right.”
She has a one in three chance of being assaulted.
“She’ll be right.”
She could even be one of the women a week killed by a man she knew and trusted.
But yeah, “She’ll be right.”
When will she be right?
Don’t know.
You see, Aussies don’t usually talk about when.
She will be, eventually. Right?
SUPER: At this rate, global gender equality is still 100 years away.
SUPER: Together, we can make it right in ten.
