Departments of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and Attorney-General of Australia are mounting a rear guard action in support of paternalism.

At the crest of a global paradigm shift from patriarchy to equal rights custodians of the world's longest living culture have proposed a congress comprised of equal numbers of women and men.

With a minimum of fuss Australia's indigenous peoples announced a forerunner to an equal rights republic.

Coupled with collective bargaining between women’s and men’s legislatures, Australia is poised to deliver.

An adviser to Australia's Attorney-General Robert McClelland responds with a form letter 1 2 to concerns over gender equality with the view that the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 seeks "to eliminate sexual harassment in areas of public activity".

Never mind that the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 has had absolutely no effect whatsoever in reducing violence against women over the past quarter century in public or private, as the adviser has been made aware.

Following the release of a Diversity on Boards of Directors report, Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick "said it was time for approaches that will guarantee progress towards gender equality in the marketplace".

Parental disputes can impact adversely on children.

Dispute resolution is counter productive when one gender dominates, as when men dominate politics, religion, the media, the legal system, commerce and industry.

A child's rights are best protected when disputes are resolved on a level playing field, accomplished when governance is conducted by agreement between women's and men's legislatures and committees.

Rather than wait until Queen Elizabeth II dies to proclaim a republic as some Australians have suggested, why not declare an equal rights republic while she lives?

What greater honour than for Her Majesty to pass sovereignty to senior citizens presiding over the first women's legislature of the modern era.

In the transition from patriarchy to equal rights the fashion has been to minimise gender difference, yet women and men view social inclusion differently.

Men tend to consider society as a hierarchy, women as more clustered.

For instance, sociologists have noted a transition over the past half century from hierarchical corporate structures to more lateral structures, without drawing comparison between the primary change in corporate composition, the massive influx of women.

Similarly, the strict hierarchical class structures of a century ago are now more fluid.

Ever had trouble with bureaucracy? ... you're not alone.

Australia's entire bureaucracy is in a state of perpetual confusion because women and men are required to administer laws enacted solely by men's legislatures to which women are admitted, according to the nation's Constitution, under male supervision.

The solution is the provision of a women's legislature.

power and control: rape and the Constitution

Are women less competitive by nature or nurture?

A recent study reveals women and men would have exactly the same competitive skills should government require corporations to manage their business by agreement between women's and men's committees.

Equitable and sustainable economic management can be achieved without loss of corporate skills.

Australia's Parliament has struggled to recognise Aboriginal law.

The nation's Constitution provides for men's legislatures only, whereas Aborigines decide law by agreement between women’s and men’s business.

The provision of a women's legislature would achieve equal rights for both women and Aborigines.
