Interesting... How high are the male percentages in "social" jobs like medical care, education and commercial cleaning? As there are a lot of people employed in these jobs belonging to the least affected category. And here in Germany they are completely dominated by women, but perhaps that is different in Australia.
And regarding the forklift operators and truck drivers - I wouldn't bet on these still being good job choices mid- to long term...

+1 on machine operators.
Autonomous mining has been showing the way on that for a long time now.
The liability issue with autonomous vehicles on public roads I feel is still a way off, but will be resolved eventually.
