Unladylike
Over half of the Australian population is made up of women, yet when it comes to the media representations of the Australian identity as a whole; the voices, achievements and needs of women remain virtually unheard.
The Australian identity is based primarily upon a love for sporting, bigoted politics, media stereotypes, trademark “delicacies”, indolent colloquialism and fatal wildlife. Although a great amount of Australians proudly symbolise and embrace these categories; many citizens – particularly women – find themselves misunderstood, misrepresented and patronised by these limiting factors.
Australia is a country renowned for its sporting passion; attracting millions of spectators to national sporting matches each month.
