The Business Council of Australia has called for improved employment outcomes for people with disability.
A report by the council has found 92 per cent of its members want to recruit more people with a disability to their workforce.
It also suggests only 6 per cent of business council members have employees with disability at the senior management level.
A new report has found women in media remain concerned about gender equality and a lack of industry support.
The Women in Media Industry Report suggests 54 per cent of women are unsure or dissatisfied with the progress of their careers.
It also found three times more women in 2023 say they have limited access to development than 2022, and discrimination was five times more commonly experienced.
The report recommends the media industry commits to actively addressing gender equality, and creates pathways to promotion.
European leaders and Tunisia's president have announced progress in the building of closer economic and trade relations, and measures to combat the smuggling of migrants across the Mediterranean Sea.

"We need to crack down on criminal networks of smugglers and traffickers. They are exploiting human despair, and we have to break their reckless business model."
