Network Ten has apologised after coming under fire for sexist questions typecasting male and female roles that were asked during an episode of the game show Family Feud.
Host Grant Denyer asked the two competing teams to name a "woman's job" and a "man's job" during the show on Wednesday night.
The top response to a "a woman's job" was cooking followed by cleaning and washing clothes.
The top responses to "a man's" job were building and mowing the lawn.
Answers for Family Feud are derived from responses posed to 100 Australians.
One critic tweeted that if these are real responses then Australia is "stuck in the 50s."
Ten issued a statement on Thursday apologising for the two questions being asked.
"Network Ten apologises for including two questions relating to what people think is a man's job and a woman's job in the episode of Family Feud which aired last night," the statement read.
"The questions were ill advised and should not have been included in the show.
"The survey results are determined by 100 people and we understand they are not reflective of all Australians."
