SIR, – In 2018, a report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare showed that ‘just over half of Australia’s population – 51 percent or 12.6-million people – were female’.
Can future editorial correspondents please note this and, instead of language such as ‘little guys’ – Robert Letts, Letters, The Weekly Advertiser, November 3, 2021 – use an inclusive term such as ‘people’?
