Pru Goward used to be the Australian prime minister's spokesperson on women's issues from the Prime Ministerial Office of Status of Women. She has recently been replaced by Bettina Arndt, a columnist and media face who specialises in why men are fucked over by every element of the late modern family, esp. family law. she's only just been appointed -- i won't even dismiss the possibility that i just had a nightmare which convinced me she'd got the job.
i think arndt's specific role will be assistant secretary or something, there is a minister for the status of women -- jocelynne newman. i'm sure there are ways in which a worse team could be appointed.
what does the office do? for the most part they ensure funding does not go to the wrong kind of women's groups.
