"For the first time in its 124-year history, Treasury will be led by a woman.

Jenny Wilkinson’s appointment is historic in its own right. Even more
remarkable is the fact she joins Michele Bullock at the Reserve Bank and
Danielle Wood at the Productivity Commission.

Australia’s three most powerful economic institutions are now led by women
economists. In economics, this is not normal. But it certainly does matter."
