Many moons ago, when were were young, we marched to end inequality. We fought for equal rights and equal pay for women.
In 1964 when I left high school and started work, married women were not allowed to work at all...in banks, local govt etc jobs.
Get married, it was "bye bye have a nice life raising children or watching tv, reading and sewing if you can't".
In the 1967 referendum, along with White women, we voted 90% in favour, to give Indigenous Australians equal "rights and liberties"....once we found out what was really going on in rural Australia.
