australian competition: He will say Australians have elected female prime ministers and premiers, and women have been appointed to senior roles in the courts, but Australia has never had a female treasury secretary, or Reserve Bank governor, or chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, or financial services regulators, or the Future Fund or the Productivity Commission, according to The Guardian. We need to change that, Leigh will say Friday. Leigh will use a speech to the Women in Economics Network on Friday to argue part of the reason the gender gap and inequality in the tax system is not being addressed strategically is because women are not prominent enough in economic agencies. Good policies for women are more likely to emerge when there are more women in the room. In the national parliament, women make up 32.4% of participants. Leigh will also point to comparatively low levels of parliamentary representation as a relevant consideration.
