  • The Ernie Awards, or the 'Ernies', are Australian awards for comments deemed misogynistic. They are held annually. They are named after former Australian Workers' Union secretary Ernie Ecob, who was known for his misogynistic remarks. One of his best-known remarks was "Women aren't welcome in the shearing sheds. They're only after the sex", which is why there is a sheep on top of the Gold Ernie. The inaugural awards night was in celebration of his resignation from the Labor Council of New South Wales. A dinner is held for 300 women each year and the winner is determined by the person who receives the most booing when their sexist statement or action is read out. A variety of categories have featured, such as the Gold Ernie, the Warney (for sport, named after Shane Warne), the Media Ernie, the Political Ernie, the Judicial Ernie, the Good Ernie (for boys behaving better, formerly called the Gareth after Gareth Evans), the Elaine (for females making comments unhelpful to the sisterhood, named after Elaine Nile) and the Trump (for repeat offenders). The categories of offenders have changed over the years, according to Meredith Burgmann. A collection of comments has been compiled in the book One Thousand Terrible Things Australian Men Have Said About Women by Meredith Burgmann and Yvette Andrews. (en)
  • Nagroda Erniego – australijska przyznawana corocznie od 1993 roku za wypowiedzi lub działania, które przyznające ją środowisko uznało za mizoginiczne. Nazwa nagrody nawiązuje do imienia byłego sekretarza Erniego Ecoba, znanego z komentarzy ocenianych jako wrogie wobec kobiet. Wręczanie nagród zainaugurowano dla uczczenia jego rezygnacji z członkostwa w Radzie Pracowniczej Nowej Południowej Walii. Corocznie ok. 400 kobiet gromadzi się na uroczystym obiedzie, by wyłonić zwycięzców w poszczególnych kategoriach. Mizoginiczne wypowiedzi zostają kolejno odczytane na głos. Zwycięzcą zostaje autor najgłośniej wybuczanego komentarza. (pl)
