Comments by Cattle Australia chair David Foote about women's role in the industry being at 'every kitchen table' have renewed calls for gender diversity on agricultural boards.

"I think it's very out of touch," Ms French said.

Of the 12 agricultural product listed companies on the ASX, only 25 per cent of board members are women. Professor Pratley said Mr Foote's comments about women were uncomfortable and unnecessary, especially considering the women he saw moving through agricultural degrees at university.

Who's the idiot, back home in the aircon or out in the 45 degree heat with the dust shit and flies!

When was the last time this clown saw a cow?

What is it about stupid old cattle farming dinosaurs in this country?

Defund the ABC!

the tweet before.....

What he said is 100% true and correct.

This is the sort of thinking that made Zimbabwe a powerhouse economy. Politics first I guess.

Surely equality doesn't mean all women have to be on the back of a horse mustering cattle. Farming financial decision making is done around the kitchen table.

I believe woman should have a right to independence but Im a little concerned for how society is going to survive when men lose interest. Dead marriages, failed familys and men pulling out of the workforce wont be good consequences of feminism.

But not surprised…

Is 5:1 the ratio in the whole industry. I reckon whatever the ratio is you could quota that as representative.

Things that are mainly true but can rarely be said.

Then get back to the kitchen, Sheila.
