Professional Footballers Australia co-Chief Executive Beau Busch told Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR Afternoons the Matildas have long been “at the forefront of the battle for gender equality.”

“If we look back at 2015, they went on strike to ensure they can earn a living wage; now the last frontier in relaiton to this is the FIFA prize money,” Mr Busch said.
