Spotlight on Australia s vexed parliament on International Women s Day Reuters 3/8/2021 © Reuters/POOL FILE PHOTO: Quad Indo-Pacific meeting in Tokyo SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia launched a A$19 million campaign on International Women s Day urging people to unmute or speak up when they witness disrespect against women, as its parliament is under scrutiny over sexual assault allegations. Minister for Women Marise Payne said in a statement that Australia had made progress towards gender equality, but that challenges remain in the home and workplace. In launching the campaign, Payne, who is also the foreign affairs minister and acting defence minister, and Minister for Families Anne Rushton, were grilled over the government s response to historical rape allegations that have intensified scrutiny of the treatment of women in Australian politics.
