An International Rural Women’s Day event hosted by the Rural Press Club of Queensland in Brisbane has shone a light on gender equality issues in Australian agriculture, highlighting where gaps still exist but also where clear progress has been made over the past 10-15 years.
A panel discussion involving three Queensland “chiefs” – Qld chief veterinary officer Dr Alison Crook, Qld chief biosecurity officer Dr Rachel Chay and Qld chief entrepreneur Julia Spicer OAM – was moderated by ABC Queensland Country Hour co-host and Rural Press Club committee member Arlie Felton-Taylor.
