Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will also speak at Tuesday’s summit where he will say the report is a “wake-up call”.

“We cannot, as has been the case during the pandemic, keep demanding women bear more and more of the load — while they slip backwards in positions of leadership,” a copy of his speech provided to the SMH read. But he will say all this just one day after his government said they wouldn’t commit to extending paid parental leave from 18 weeks to 26 weeks. “Australia has a choice,” Mostyn said. “We can continue to hope for the incremental progress of women into leadership or we can be bold, set purposeful targets, be accountable and harness one of our greatest opportunities for success.” 100 years for a couple more women CEOs is not gender equality. The ball could not be more in your court, Albo.
