Aussie Troops Safe After Base Hit In Iran Escalation As Travel & Fuel Costs Surge

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/ee5b8bb7-31de-4eec-9cee-b401017a74a9/transcript

Today marks the third major Gender Pay Gap report and for the first time ever, the data includes both the private sector and the Commonwealth public sector.

While the gap is slowly shrinking—men are still more likely to hold top-paying roles.

We sit down with Minister for Finance and Women Katy Gallagher to discuss the silent killers of pay equity and how we get to gender pay parity. 

And in headlines today, 

The US-Israeli war against Iran has expanded with Israel also launching strikes against Lebanon; The federal government’s travel advice service Smart Traveler has told Australian's stuck overseas due to the US/Israel operation in Iran, to sign up to a registration portal to receive updates; One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been censured by the Senate following her inflammatory remarks against Muslims; A young freshwater crocodile spotted hanging out in a creek behind a Bunnings in Newcastle has been rescued and relocated

The DFAT Crisis registration page for Aussies stuck overseas crisis.dfat.gov.au

For urgent consular assistance: If calling from overseas +61 2 6261 3305, In Australia 1300 555 135
