Sex discrimination at Tooth's brewery (1973) | RetroFocus

If you worked at Tooth's Brewery in 1973, you got free beers at morning tea & lunchtime. Unless of course, you were female, as Joan Cox found out.
This vision was filmed in Sydney on 15 August 1973.

wonder if she got fired for bringing in the media

[@Antipodean33]

I had a neighbour growing up in the 60s who was fairly high up in a brewery and he was allowed 6 pints (proper old school sized pints in Adelaide) a day at work. I'd see him get off the bus staggering. Onya old Max Fisher ya champ

[@ianmatthews3041]

Only one size of a pint unless your a yank!

[@Jules-rj8cf]

Don't worry babe it's 2020 and all the fellas are drinking cruisers now 😅

[@loristarship]

Bahaha Yesssss

[@sutherlandA1]

Despite that pubs changed their men only policy in the 60s and the fact shes and employee that old fool seemed to really back those outdated practices, oh well I'm sure hes long dead now

Why did ABC News shut down the comment section on their video: _The social experiment of African refugees in outback Australia_

[@cl9925]

Why do you think?

[@nagihangot6133]

I don't know. They don't like Free Speech?

[@chrisspedling75]

This. Steve Smith put it well. Too much dissent. Silence any potential for the logical and traditional to assemble.

[@SovetskiDuck]

I got no clue, normaly every video they try and provoke conversation but supress free speach at the same time.

[@troywright359]

@@nagihangot6133 because such comment sections can become hotbeds of communities against such a policy, who don't actually represent the public at large

[@danorthsidemang3834]

I have to disagree with the missus. It's NOT sexual discrimination. The hard-working, civilization-building, war-winning males don't want to share their beer with the babymakers, that's all. Crikey.

Is that Pauline Hanson in her younger years? 😁

[@rg1924]

Being back the good old days 💪🏻 💪🏻

[@jsmith6259]

Free beer can I work here?

[@toogaytofunction3029]

In this comments section: sexism!

[@Meatcleaver101]

Calm down Pricilla.. No one gives a shit that you're gay any more. And the ladies are allowed to drink when ever they want.. no sexism here

[@kevinyoung5129]

Wow the good old days. Why waste good beer on women.

[@nonkane7175]

They solve the discrimination by forbid beer at lunch

[@JamesStaaks8182]

So what if this was what it was like 50 years ago. Times change and life is generally better for everyone nowadays. Discrimination wasn’t just a white Australian thing it was all over the world and in a lot of cases still is. Simple times back then, not perfect by any stretch but still a great place to grow up.

[@roybennett4445]

Wow how backward were we back then??

[@camb6176]

Wow progressiveness is such an improvement....not.

[@bipolatelly9806]

oh well....
i used to like the abc...

[@davidcarey5529]

Blah blah blah!
