"I've seen a shift over the last few years but I think there are still some structural and systemic barriers that create attrition and lack of opportunity to progress," she said.
"As a profession we need to look a cultural change to better support women who choose to have families but also have successful and fulfilling careers," she said. "When you have people in charge who make decisions about workplace arrangements, who haven't had those same caring arrangements, then they may not be able to understand what working mothers need.
Ms Archer said there was "a drop off naturally as women progress into the legal profession" and chose more flexible workplaces. "You can imagine how a woman feels. She's got no choice in the matter because only a woman can have children, but if the male behaves in the same manner it would remove that factor entirely."Ms Archer is about to embark on appointing a seventh judge to the bench of the Supreme Court to help deal with the backlog in criminal cases.

On one's merits, no free passes.
Yeah the meritocracy chooses on merit not genitalia.
Perhaps we should name more women Stephen 🤔
. It looks like Tasmania is on-track with gender equality. 14% of Supreme Court. 38% of magistrates. 65% of law graduates. It takes years to be promoted to the magistrate & then Supreme Court. What was the percentage of women graduating from law with Helen Wood in 1984? .
From age of these old dudes i think you need to see graduate percentage data history from 30 years ago. Based on current percentage we should see at least 60% females in 30 years?
. ABC journo thinking she's clever... .
Speaking of equality and representation, a group of melanin challenged folk there.
Are there women called Stephen?
FatherBob Hey Boys Club called Stephen! Happy IWD2021 Women are on their way - to SmashPatriarchy
So what Jog on
I heard there are another three called Steven, too. I propose that all Tassie judges must be named Steven or Stephen from now on.
“Our” gender obsessed ABC....
Systemic nameism exists. There must be at least 10% Michael representation to mirror community representation of Michael’s. Michaellivesmatter.
You don't graduate law and go straight to a seat in the Supreme Court so the fact more women are graduating holds zero point here. As more women graduate then in time they'll hopefully take up more seats but they have to be earned first. Same as for men.
Best person for the job, no quotas or or 50/50 rubbish. Why shouldn't the best person be appointed no matter the sex.
I have no problem whatsoever with women being in prestige positions but i'm sure, dare I say it, if the biological roles were offset where males are the ones to reproduce the percentage of males/ females within the workforce would be in reverse. It is what it is! 🚻
This is really in depth journalism by the Age. Any mention if there are any women qualified or capable or wanting to be a judge? Excellence before inclusiveness.....always
Must be a slow news day🥱
A lot of people in the comments seem to be confused at what this could mean. Maybe it means that historically, the odds of becoming a judge in Tasmania, is greater for Stephens than women. So either Stephens are very popular or women are not
It's fascinating to see the degradation of quality of journalism as mainstream print media loses its audience. It's sad to think that whoever wrote this article probably won't have a job in 1-2 years. On the bright side perhaps they'll find a job somewhere with a quality editor.
Why show a picture of seven male judges? 20% of the Tasmanian Supreme Court judges are named Stephen. 10% of the Tasmanian Supreme Court judges are women. Not so bad, is it?
1 Stephen and zero woman? So what 🤔
Soooo based on this fact we should name our kids Stephen so they'll be successful? Sounds like a few Sharron's need to step their game up if they want to play ball with the Stephens.
apparently one of them is so old they didn't have colour cameras when they took his profile picture ..
So?
MacDonalds has more Brittany’s than working ice cream machines
Did you just assume their gender?
And 100% first name F------
Thanks ABC. Thanks so much.
