Loading Lisa Wilkinson data from Instagram. Please wait... @lisa_wilkinson : Warmest congratulations to the fab new team just announced for @thetodayshow of @georgiegardner9 @deborah_knight @tomsteinfort and @tonyjones9 .
I sincerely wish them all the very best in the Breakfast TV wars ahead.
But as my media studies student daughter noted to me, why oh why oh why, in the reporting of the new team do the ages of the women need to be pointed out, while the ages of the men are clearly regarded as irrelevant?
Similarly, Deb being a mum-of-three is considered significant, but Tony being a dad isn’t?
I don’t understand. And we obviously have a long way to go when it comes to #genderequity.
