Welcome to the Ernie Awards for Sexist Remarks. This strange institution enjoyed its 30th and final awards year in 2022.… You’re a bit late!
Each year 300 women came together at a splendid dinner in NSW Parliament House to judge the most sexist remarks by public figures during the previous year.
The nominator of each winning quote carried home a silver Ernie (handsome silver pig on a plinth).
The overall winner got the Gold Ernie (sheep rampant on a golden orb).
The winners were chosen by whichever nomination received the loudest boos.
In tight contests, a boo-off was required.
