Episode Synopsis

40 years ago, the Sex Discrimination Act was established in Australia. It was the first legislation of its kind in the world… preventing discrimination based on sex, relationship status, or pregnancy… and outlawing sexual harassment within the workplace. Architect of the bill, Senator Susan Ryan, has been memorialised with a statue in the Rose Garden at Old Parliament House. Rania Yallop spoke with Australia’s first female Governor-General, Dame Quentin Bryce, about the progress the nation has made towards equality.
