Inner Sydney Voice’s Post

Accident or design? Strategic or organic? Planned or inevitable? Whatever the case, the stars have aligned, and for the first time in history, affordable housing reform is in the hands of an all-woman band of leaders. To learn more about their journey, head to page 13 of the latest Housing Crisis special edition of Inner Sydney Voice, where our EO has shared her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities ahead for these five power holders. https://lnkd.in/gAPD3Ymn

What a fantastic outcome & a line up of capable, committed & compassionate leaders. Only a matter of time with more women attending uni & working, but still juggling kidsjobs, & holding down big jobs. Reminds me of the saying “to be seen to be as good as a man women have to work twice as hard, luckily this is not difficult “ There is some truth to this although thankfully it is slowly changing. My generation the female Gen X ers did often chat over coffee that when we had young children we had done 4 hrs already before we got into the office, making breakfasts, packing school lunches, ensuring clean uniforms were dragged off lines or out of dryers, remembering what event it was at school finding gold coin or orange tshirt, checking meetings would allow you to get them to dentist, did you have something in freezer for dinner that night & would you have time to read & check that cabinet min due this morning before holding a division or team meeting…… So not before time.But also with the assistance of great partners and male & female colleagues pushing for reform. Typically my first 3 bosses (late 80’s early 90s) were all men. All wonderful supportive men in leadership positions also capable, committed & compassionate.

There is a big job to do. Thank you Inner Sydney Voice for keeping the spotlight on the need for more affordable and secure homes.

It’s reassuring to have such a talented group of women focused on such a critical issue. Safe, secure housing is a basic right that is not accessible to many in our community due to the housing crisis. We are fortunate to have these talented leaders working in this space.

Well done team! Airspace development can provide over 1.2 million homes in our cities. We can replace old rooftops with new rooftop homes above our existing strata and shoptop buildings. These homes will fund the repair and rejuvenation of our buildings instead of them being sold off to developers and knocked down. Let’s look after our communities, buildings and environment as part of the solution. 🙏🌿♻️🏗️
