Aussie theatre a boys' club

I just saw this on the ABC performing arts site: http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2009/s2763949.htm Apparently, Aussie theatre is full of males. And making it impossible for women to work in it. ... I honestly don't know where anyone would get that idea from. Women outrate men in all of the arts, not just theatre. That men have been getting top positions in a few big name companies smacks of someone being annoyed at being passed over if you ask me (or a writer given a dud press release and finding an angle, any angle, to write about it). I would state that it's easier getting an "upper echelon" (quoting the article) job in theatre if you've already had an upper echelon job, and has nothing to do with gender but the fact that it's circular hiring. Anyone think men are ruling Aussie theatre? EDIT: It's also as if they purposely ignore the many companies in Melbourne which are run by women. La Mama and 45 downstairs come to mind immediately.
