The Queensland Government’s Women’s Strategy Progress report for 2016-18 has shown ongoing improvement, particularly in the area of participation and leadership.
Since 2015, the number of women on Queensland Government bodies has increased to 47%, and has seen the appointment of the states first female Chief Entrepreneur, Leanne Kemp.
Politician Di Farmer claims there is still much to be done, with women being 2.3 times more likely than men to get part time work as opposed to full time positions, as well as being less likely to have superannuation cover, and remaining gender pay gap of 17.3%.
