“We must open up all areas of our
service to women – so that it’s not
gender by which we judge talent – it’s
talent by which we judge talent.”
No man is an island, in the words of John Donne. We prosper or fall according to the health of our
society. Culture really counts – it pervades everything, and thus if the stories we tell are inclusive and
are around the themes of talent and inclusivity, and include men and women, then that’s the right
message.”
I am going to enclose a link to his speech at the Global Summit, because after two interviews and
several (rather large) meanderings off topic, I am stunned by a man not only with a plan, but who
has had the brain, the brilliance and one could say the arrogance (and the cajones) to carry that plan
out.
I have no idea what David Lindsay Morrison is going to do post-Army. He will possibly, whilst still
in the position, arrange a special court-martial for me, simply because I couldn’t help myself and
included a link to THAT YouTube video. But I will say this; I hope for the sake of women, men and
Australian society as a whole, that it is something very public and loud. Because if this is what he can
do in just four years, in an organisation which fights change with all its khaki-covered might What could he do with an entire country?
