“Describing the arrival of Europeans* as a ‘settlement’ is a view of Australian history from the perspective of England rather than Australia,” the information pack sent to staff states. “Instead of settlement, try ‘colonisation’, ‘occupation’ or ‘invasion’.”
In a hilarious fact-box headed “Minimise manterruptions”, Qantas* advises: “Research shows that in many situations, including the workplace, men interrupt and speak over women, while the reverse rarely happens.”
