Australian Club reviews
1 Star Review by Sophie McKeown
What a disappointing reminder that misogyny is still rife in society. Institutions like this should be held more accountable for glorifying inequality, especially when a number of it's members hold high ranking positions within society. This review is not to be mistaken for envy or jealousy, rather pure disbelief.
1 Star Review by Liesl Yearsley
shame on you. people of your ilk ought to fade into obscurity so that true leaders can operate in a meritocracy, even if they are women and are not permitted to join your club
