I had a friend years ago who was a SMH reading primary teacher. She told me there was a pay gap between men & women and couldn’t give me any evidence, although she knew it to be true. 🤦🏻♀️
I attempted to explain the actual differences with women going part time, having babies, not motivated to be Principal’s etc but she wasn’t interested. About a yr or so later, she went back to Uni and only worked half the week. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I often wonder if she understood when her pay went down for the days she wasn’t working!!!!
It all depends on who does what type of work. The SMH ran a front page article some years ago on discrimination in wages in the shearing industry.
Most shearers are men. The best shearers are younger, physically robust, strong, highly motivated, very self disciplined and highly skilled doing a boring, repetitive job and earn many thousands of $ a week. They are paid per sheep so they are highly motivated to work hard.
Most rouseaboutes in the industry are women who pick up the wool fleeces, throw them on the table and sweep the floor. Paid per hour. A person can learn how to do the job in just a few hours. Some are fit, active, motivated, pay attention to detail and do a brilliant job. Others are lazy, slow, careless and make extra work for others.
So shearers make a lot more money than rouseabouts ie men earn lots more than women. The greatest unfairness is that the brilliant rouseabout is paid the same hourly rate as the lazy or incompetent one.
It was dumb article and a dumb reaction to a non problem. If AirbusAlbo didn't have non existent problems to fix he would have nothing to do. Oh wait... he does nothing anyway except go to concerts, the tennis and rich people's conferences.
Is Albo so dumb that he cannot see the flaws in the gender pay gap report? Or does he think we are so dumb that we will take his phony support for it at face value, and it will give him some political advantage?
What is the government trying to hide? Are they are bringing up something that doesn't need fixing in order to bring in something totally broken? I wouldn't trust them as far as I could kick them! More destruction of the family and society
You are so right Alex. If they can't say what a woman is how can they say the pay gap exists? Also, if it were the case does it mean trans men who portray themselves as women will get less pay in the workforce?? Silly men! Thy have given up their highly paid jobs to be women with less pay!
As was explained to me. A company has 100 male (XY chromosome ) and 60 female (XX Chromosome ) employees. The salary comparison is made between the 50th male and the 30th female. Number 50 male can be a highly paid engineer and number 30 female can be a secretarial assistant but there we have a salary comparison that will prove that Albo is right.
By manipulating the numbers Albo can prove that we have the strongest economy in the world ,we have the cheapest electricity in the world, and we are leading the world in woke stupidity.
Thanks James. Sadly you can’t fix stupid.

this!! The greatest unfairness is that the brilliant rouseabout is paid the same hourly rate as the lazy or incompetent one.
This is what matters, and is where the pay gap truly exists!!
That is how socialism works

I am inclined to think the second is the answer.
More shame to you, Albo.

This government is hiding much as they’re bumbling their way through their term…hopefully single term 🤞🏻
It’s hard to take the gender pay gap outrage seriously when you remember the people expressing it can’t even tell you what a woman is.
😂😂
Or take anybody so unspeakably stupid,as to utter such garbage to be smart enough to tie their own shoelaces.
Good point!!! I love how clever you all are!!! Please run for Albie's job. Especially if you know you're a woman!!! 😁😁😁

Spot on. Why any many in his right mind would willingly opt for lower wages AND longer queues at the bathroom is beyond me.

Albo is the great manipulator!!
Trouble for the wog is ,is that most people of voting age(so far)can count.
Brilliant!!!
