AFL Commissioner Sam Mostyn To Lead Sydney Swans' Diversity Review

Australian Football League Commission "glass-ceiling smasher" Sam Mostyn will "lead a pioneering review of Sydney's diversity values and practices, a move that stands to catalyse profound change," according to Samantha Lane of THE AGE. Mostyn, a new director for the Sydney Swans, will chair a committee also featuring club CEO Andrew Ireland and write a "diversity action plan" with "targets and teeth." It "may see Sydney deliberately overlooking men for key roles and instead promote women through quota appointments to accelerate the club's evolution." The Swans' diversity action plan, which they said will make them "league leaders in the sphere," will address four focuses:

• Advancement of women.
• LGBTIQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer) pride.
• Multicultural inclusion.
• Empowerment of people with disabilities (THE AGE, 3/8).
