Is The Federal Budget Fair to Women?




Think: Business Futures show

Summary: Criticism has been leveled at the Federal Government's $240 million Women's Economic Security funding package, that aims to support a return to the workforce for many women, greater opportunities in STEM industries, and channels for female entrepreneurs and start-ups. It's a mere fraction of the spending, but how little is too little to help women who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic? To discuss this, I'm joined today by Katherine O'Regan, Executive Director of The Sydney Business Chamber, and Dr. Alice Klettner, Senior Lecturer at The University of Technology Sydney's Business School.
