Fiona Gulin had every reason to feel more secure than most in these shaky economic times. However, out of the blue, she was made redundant.

As head of marketing for two of Sydney's largest venues, the ANZ Stadium in Olympic Park and Bankwest Stadium in the city's west, Fiona Gulin had every reason to feel more secure than most in shaky economic times.

Ms Gulin is among the demographic of Australians whose jobs went the fastest in the month of April: women. Unlike many who have had to use super to survive, she believes can get by at least for now. I don't need to dip into my super at the moment, which is a good thing, but I know a few people that have had to do that.

"I don't need to dip into my super at the moment, which is a good thing, but I know a few people that have had to do that," she said. "I've used this two months-ish now to sort of reset, start making the move back to Melbourne and look at starting up my consulting business again."I hope to help small to medium businesses that have had to ... let go of marketing staff – to help them transition back to normal.

When will this feminist victimhood end! Most workplace deaths are men. Most homeless people living on the streets are men. Men suicide at a much higher rate than women. Stop the whining, you are embarrassing yourself! We have equality of opportunity in Australia....

Makes sence. Women earn lots more than men per hour for the same job and experience... so obviousely they will be the 1st to go

Might be a good excuse to clean out the libtards.

Women do less essential jobs....curious🤔🤔🤔🤔

Utter nonsense. Those men losing their jobs may be the sole breadwinner and consequently have wives in a care giving role with children. How many of those women losing jobs have only themselves to support on that lost income? Give us the breakdown from the data itself.
