It is incredibly frustrating that after years and years of campaigning for gender equality, the Order of Australia is as male-dominated as ever.
As Governor-General Sam Mostyn puts it: "Every Australian regardless of their gender, social, cultural or economic background should be able to look at the honours list and see themselves."
Which would be lovely. I mean, at least we count gender in the honours list. God knows how the rest of it looks. We know very little about race and ethnicity and we can only deduce class by looking at the postcodes.
